Dino Profile

How big. How fast. What it ate. Written for the actual science.

Color It

Two scenes: a cartoon version and a science reconstruction.

Cut & Keep

Fact cards and lunchbox jokes to cut out and keep.

Parent Guide

The actual journal citation, translated into plain English.

Drawn from scratch

The same dinosaur, two ways.

Every pack pairs a science-grade reconstruction with the museum skeleton — so kids see the body and the bones.

Spinosaurus — in life
The skeleton — museum mount

Field questions

Everything parents ask first.

It helps! The pack is designed to be printed — it looks excellent in plain black and white on a standard inkjet. If you can't print, every activity is also available in your online dashboard, and many families do a mix.
