Cut, color, and fold your own Dinosaur Life Cycle. From egg to adult, from baby to predator, watch your dinosaur grow into the beast that you know and love.
Preschoolers
[Rescheduled from June 17th to July 9th]
In the bustling town of Roarsville, every dinosaur gets to shine in the annual Dino Day Talent Show—except for Shy-a-saurus Rex, a timid young T-Rex with stage fright and a soft voice that barely makes a squeak. Though she has a big imagination and a heart full of dreams, Shy-a-saurus is too nervous to share her talents.
