Emphasizing pre-literacy and literacy skills in a dinosaur expedition setting, Baby Dinosaurs is composed of nine interactive stations. Before beginning your adventure, stop by the Preparation Station to gather the necessary supplies. Be sure to grab the proper survival equipment including a backpack, canteen, lantern, and a map to guide you on your journey. See if you can identify Baby Rex, Tiny-Tops, Baby Apatosaurus, Baby Perry, and mother to be, Parasaurolophus. A sixth dinosaur, Dimetrodon, comes complete with a control unit, which allows guests to shape his movement with remote control animatronics.
Kids can also venture to a dig site and unearth giant alphabet letters.
Children will learn about a particular letter, make a word, and form simple sentences from the words that they create. At the rubbing station, kids can explore different levels of literacy skills as they create their own rubs of dinosaur-related pictures, letters, and words. Every adventurer needs a base camp, so after a big day of discovery, head over and either use dinosaur puppets to create your own stories or watch a puppet show put on by other Museum guests. When it is time to recharge those batteries and unwind, there is a campsite, complete with tents. Researchers can read, write about their activities in a journal, investigate their finds, or listen to a story.
