Schedule:

Below we are attaching our daily schedule so that you might have an idea of what an average day in the World of Dinosaurs is like.

·         Our blog, and everything on it, will only be available to those with this direct link. We will be uploading pictures daily and document many of the fun things that we do so that you might share in this extraordinary experience with us.

·        There are links to fun dinosaur games and websites on the blog for you and your child to check out.

·        There will even be daily questions for you and your child to interactively answer from home to earn prizes.

*Remember to check our blog daily. It is a great tool to help your little one talk to you about all of the amazing dinosaur fun we have.

It is going to be an action-packed, fun-filled week that we know your child will look back on and smile. J
