Excellent Bible-based resource for teaching about dinosaurs!

The Wonders of God's World Dinosaur Activity Book by Earl & Bonita Snellenberger is the perfect resource for teaching your elementary-age children about dinosaurs. If it is used during family reading times, it would interest almost everyone in the family.

The book is a Bible-based textbook and activity book all-on-one. I found the text extremely interesting and discovered many things I didn't know about dinosaurs and fossils. The text explains what a dinosaur is, how fossils were formed, and how paleontologists reconstruct dinosaurs from fossil fragments. It explains how scientist can misinterpret fossil evidence and provides examples of specific instances where mistakes were made. It also discusses dinosaurs in history, both actual and mythical.

Activities in the book include mazes, puzzles, dot-to-dots, crossword puzzles, tangrams, and coloring pages. Some activities involve making a finger puppet or putting together paper models. Children who like to cut, color and paste and make their own booklets will love these activities.

My only objection to the book is that the author does not allow teachers and parents to make copies of the worksheet pages for their students and/or children. You would have to purchase a separate workbook for each child. This will only discourage honest teachers and parents on a budget from purchasing the book for classroom use. If you fit this case, I recommend writing to the publisher and asking permission. Perhaps they will give it!

Maurrean, I looked at the book again to remind myself. The activities include color pages and dot-to-dot, as well as word scrambles and other more advanced activities. I would say that your six year old could do some of the activities, but to get the most from the book, you will have to be involved. I hope that helps. Cindy Downes www.cindydownes.com

Cindy, When I looked at the book on Amazon, it didnt show appropriate ages. I have a 6 y/o interested in this, but the one page shown via Amazon shows a word scramble much too advanced for her. Do you know what ages may be appropriate?
