We bought this set of Dinosaur Activity Pack very long time ago. I was hoping that Sophie would be more gender neutral in her interest then. As it turns out, her brain is programmed to be “female” and nothing we do would ever sway that.
This was the easiest activity in the pack – jig saw stickers. Sophie could identify the correct sticker to match with the given picture clue.
I thought she was pretty smart to assume that the dinosaurs and eggs are matched according to their colours. And I was very happy that she could hold a coloured pencil and drew lines relatively well. However, the second activity sheet with the dinosaur bones, was a lot harder for her. I guess she could not find similarities between each pair to consider them a match.
Sophie insisted that one of the “shadow” was a seal. No matter how I tried to explain, she refused to accept that it was really a dinosaur. Because of that, she totally lost interest in matching them.
Again, this was easy for her because of the matching colours and skin textures.
I was pleasantly surprised when Sophie could match the footprints to the dinosaur. I thought she would find it abstract. Apparently not for her.
This was the last activity sheet I gave her. It was quite easy because she only needed to point and count the eggs. I had a good laugh when she told me she wanted to crack the eggs to look for the dinosaurs inside.
