Don't you often wish you could have low-prep to no-prep thematic language resources for your pre-k, kindergarten, and early elementary age students? Well I did, so I created this resource! This is just what you need to keep those little hands busy and your dinosaur loving students engaged and having fun. I also love when I find out a child's special interest and am able to have something ready to go quickly without hours of prep time.

This activity has no-prep print activities, low-prep activities that you can laminate for durability if you choose to, as well as EASY crafts (in black & white and color). This resource will help you target vocabulary, categories, associations, sentence expansion, describing, and even sequencing when working on the "build a dinosaur" easy craft. You could use the printables for pretend play, sensory bins, and scavenger hunts. I included information on how I use these activities in therapy sessions. There is also a set of boom cards that can be used in session or for teletherapy.
