Flannelboard
My goal here was to make the dinosaurs cute, but also realistic enough to be able to easily identify which dinosaur it was supposed to be. Hopefully I succeeded! Included are a red Tyrannosaurus Rex, a yellow-orange Pteranodon*, a green Apatosaurus, a blue Triceratops, and a purple Stegosaurus. I think my favorite has got to be the Stegosaurus. It definitely took the longest to make! I used this flannelboard for my first and second dinosaur themed storytimes.
*Fun Fact: A pteranodon is not actually a dinosaur!

“Five Dinosaurs Went Out to Play”
(Tune: One Elephant Went Out to Play)
One dinosaur went out to play
In a giant swamp one day
She had such enormous fun
That she called for another dinosaur to come:
Raise hands to cup mouth, and call loudly: Oh, Diiiiiiiiiinosaur!
Verses: Count up to five
Five dinosaurs went out to play
In a giant swamp one day
They had such enormous fun
That they played until the day was done!

“Five Enormous Dinosaurs”
Five enormous dinosaurs letting out a roar,
One stomped away and then there were four.
Stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp,
stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp, ROAR!
Four enormous dinosaurs munching on a tree,
One stomped away and then there were three.
Stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp,
stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp, ROAR!
Three enormous dinosaurs didn’t know what to do,
One stomped away and then there were two.
Stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp,
stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp, ROAR!
Two enormous dinosaurs having lots of fun,
One stomped away and then there was one.
Stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp,
stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp, ROAR!
One enormous dinosaur saw the setting sun,
She flew home and then there were none.
Flap, flap, flap, flap,
flap, flap, flap, flap, ROAR!
