After the B for Builder small world play went down so well, I decided to make a D for Dinosaur box for the boys. In the base of our box I used small cardboard squares, which is actually for the base of our pet rat cage, its called Ecobale & is a type of horse bedding! I made boulders out of scrunched up paper bags & sed some rocks from our beach small world. I added some plastic plants, eggs & 2 palm trees, that the boys made at a toddler group using tinsle & kitchen roll tubes.

We used our Ladybird Dinosaur book to look up the names of our figures & taked about how big they would have been & what they liked to eat.
They got the dinosaur figures from Santa and they hadn't really been
played with since, this was a great opportunity to give the boys a
starting point to begin play. They both enjoyed this box and like most of our others it has been asked for several times.

I love your use of books alongside the toys, it really helps give new concepts meaning. Your little ones were very imaginative making nests too. Looks like great fun.
