They Live! A project example
It began modestly enough. The kids woke up to discover that the dinosaurs had gotten into a box of cereal and made a mess on the kitchen table.
The next morning, the dinos had climbed onto the kitchen counter to raid the fruit bowl.
The morning after that, they had managed to breach the refrigerator and help themselves to a carton of eggs. “Uh-Oh,” we heard our girls whisper. “Mon and Dad are not going to like this.”
Things quickly escalated from there. More often than not, the dinos’ antics were less than tidy. They are dinosaurs, after all.
Usually, though, the dinosaurs are just like anybody else – looking to have a good time.
Why do we do this? Because in the age of iPads and Netflix, we don’t want our kids to lose their sense of wonder and imagination. In a time when the answers to all the world’s questions are a web-search away, we want our kids to experience a little mystery. All it takes is some time and energy, creativity, and a few plastic dinosaurs.
