Printable Dinosaur Pretend Play Kit | Dino DNA Safari Lab Dramatic Play for Kids

Calling all little scientists! Turn your playroom into a dinosaur hatching lab!

In this printable pretend play kit, kids run their own Dino DNA Safari Lab. They take hatch orders, put dino eggs in the incubator, cover them with hatching mist, and then... surprise, a baby dinosaur hatches! They move their new dinos to the paddock and feed them ferns and crunchy bugs. It's screen-free fun for home, homeschool or the classroom dramatic play center.

SKILLS KIDS PRACTICE

Counting money, adding prices, matching, sorting, reading labels, writing names, taking turns and talking with "visitors."

HOW IT WORKS

1. Download right after purchase.

2. Print on regular 8.5" x 11" paper. Cardstock works best for the cut-out pages.

3. Cut along the dashed lines and start hatching!

TIP: Laminate the catalog, orders and money, or slide them into sheet protectors, and use dry-erase markers to reuse them again and again. Add Velcro dots to keep the pieces in the nests and paddock.

GOOD TO KNOW

• Recommended for ages 4 and up. Some cut-out pieces are small, so adult help with scissors is recommended and pieces should be kept away from children under 3.

• This is a digital download. No physical item will be shipped.

• For personal, home and single-classroom use. Please do not share or resell the files.
