Dinosaur Bone Group Puzzle and Paleontologist Activities

Invite children to play paleontologist as they cut out labeled bone groups and place them on a dinosaur silhouette mat, then check their skeleton against a completed reference. The printable also includes a fossil-counting worksheet, a dinosaur matching activity, a maze, and fact cards for an adult to read aloud. Children practise matching, counting, visual problem-solving, and fine-motor skills through hands-on dinosaur play. Reach for it during a dinosaur or fossils theme, a science center, or a small-group activity; an adult can assist with cutting.
