A hands-on science and sensory journey through the prehistoric world – designed for curious kids (ages 3–6) and the parents who guide them.

🧭 Overview & Learning Target

Through ice excavation, fossil building, measuring, and imaginative play, kids will develop key early learning skills like scientific observation, sensory exploration, creativity, and vocabulary.

By the end of the series, your child will have earned their title as a Junior Paleontologist!

Whether your child is a toddler who needs a helping hand, or a preschooler ready to dig in independently, each activity is designed to be flexible and fun.

When I first did these with my son, he had just turned 2, so we made adjustments along the way—and had a blast doing it!
