Roar and Explore Baby Dino School Workshop
Bring the Magic of Dinosaurs to Your Early Years Classroom!
Our Roar and Explore Baby Dino School Workshop is specially crafted for nursery, preschool, and reception children. We combine sensory play, interactive storytelling, and gentle hands-on encounters to introduce your little paleontologists to the prehistoric world in a safe, completely age-appropriate way.
Through physical movement, fun sounds, and real fossil handling, we spark curiosity and support early years development goals (EYFS) across communication, physical development, and understanding the world.
- Target Age Group: Nursery, EYFS, & Reception (Ages 2–5)
- Duration: Flexible sessions to fit your school timetable (30 to 45-minute slots recommended for early years attention spans).
Please Note: This specialized workshop is exclusively aimed at local schools and early years settings near Stansted Airport, Essex. By focusing on our local area, we are able to minimize travel times and keep our booking prices as low as possible for your school.
What to Expect During the Session
We keep our early years sessions fast-paced, highly physical, and sensory-focused to match the natural learning styles and attention spans of younger children. A typical session includes:
A gentle, magical introduction to our friendly, realistic baby dinosaur puppets (safely managed so no one gets scared!).
An interactive tale packed with fun sounds, expressions, and easy actions that the whole class can join in with.
Hands-on exploration where children use their senses to feel, inspect, and “dig” for genuine fossil specimens.
Burn off some energy by mimicking dinosaur behavior—stretching like a long-neck, stomping like a triceratops, and practicing our best roars!

Developing gross motor skills through coordinated roleplay movements and fine motor controls during fossil handling. - 🌋 Understanding the World
Sparking early scientific curiosity about the natural world, textures, prehistoric life, and changes over time.
