My 7 year old recently joined 4-H (technically Mini 4-H as a second grader) and the time has come for her to start her first project. She chose to study dinosaurs, a great choice! 4-H provided a packet of activities and resources for learning about dinosaurs geared to her age. One of the first activities is to do a hands-on demo to visualize how big a large dinosaur is. She has to make a paper chain that is 50 feet long! She's working on it at the table as I write this. Here's what she has so far:

I held it up and it's about 4 feet in length, so only 46 feet to go. LOL! She's moving pretty quickly, so reaching 50 feet won't take all that long. Plus it's a good activity to keep her busy inside the house since it's pouring rain outside! When it's done we'll take it outside and it will be a great visualization of the length of a large dinosaur that lived over 65 million years ago!
