Figures in Motion: Dinosaurs on the Move by Cathy Diez-Luckie
In August (date TBD), the From Left to Write bloggers will be discussing the Figures in Motion children’s activity books Dinosaurs on the Move and Famous Figures of Ancient Times by Cathy Diez-Luckie.
About the books:
Dinosaurs on the Move: Make prehistoric times come to life with extraordinary dinosaurs that once roamed the earth! Cut-and-color or pre-colored action figures really move as you bring Tyrannosaurus Rex, Allosaurus, Triceratops, Stegosaurus, Ankylosaurus, Brachiosaurus, and others to life.
Move their jaws, clash their teeth, and make their powerful legs run as you act out your own dinosaur battles—or make up your own stories about these mighty creatures that ruled the planet.
Use this creative learning tool to introduce and reinforce the wonder of natural history and inspire a love of paleontology with hands-on activities for children ages 6 to 12.
