Okay okay, those may actually be cow bones, and I may have gone out to the flower bed at the crack of dawn while all the kids were still asleep and buried them, but it was exciting all the same!
By examining the teeth of the. . . uh. . . creature, they did determine that it ate plants and not animals.
When they had found every last bone CC began to organize them in to groups. She tried to put them together to see if she could get a whole dinosaur but decided she didn't have enough bones. In the end we laid them out in the flower bed as spooky dinosaur Halloween decorations!
It is funny to me the things I have been able to get my hands on by sending out a plea on Facebook. What strange things do you have lurking in your garage or closets? I bet we could come up with some good ideas!
That is so awesome! My girls would have "had a cow";-). Seriously, though, I can't think of anything more exciting than that to find in your garden.
ReplyDeleteHow fun for them to find such big bones!! What a great memory they will have!
ReplyDeleteHaha, I can't get over that you found cow bones through Facebook. This is a great activity, and one I'm sure they will always remember! How cool! And I bet that's one awesome Halloween display!
ReplyDeleteI know! It's so funny. A couple of months ago I said that I needed a stack of old golf balls and like three people wrote to say they had some for me. FB is my knew favorite resource!
