Turn your classroom, homeschool, or playtime into a prehistoric adventure with this Printable Dinosaur Scene and Puppet Set! Featuring a dramatic 2D volcano backdrop and dinosaur puppets, this activity encourages imagination, creativity, and storytelling fun for young learners.
Kids can cut, color, and assemble their dinosaurs, then bring their stories to life by acting them out against the volcano scene. Puppets can be used flat as tabletop figures or transformed into popsicle stick puppets for extra interactive play. Whether they’re stomping, roaring, or inventing new dinosaur adventures, children will love stepping into the role of a paleontologist and storyteller.
But this set doesn’t stop at play—it also supports writing and literacy skills! Included writing templates and prompts encourage students to retell their dino adventures, sequence events, or write imaginative stories featuring their favorite dinosaurs. It’s the perfect way to combine hands-on crafting with meaningful literacy practice.
