Are you visiting the “Ultimate Dinosaur” exhibition this summer at OISE’s neighbour, the Royal Ontario Museum? Why not continue learning after you leave the ROM by checking out our dinosaur themed featured activity kit! The “Presenting Leptoceratops” fossil model [CR 567.9 R962] is a great way to engage young children in hands on learning about ancient natural history. While the ROM’s exhibit features giant dinosaurs from the southern hemisphere, the Leptoceratops model offers a smaller-scale introduction to herbivores from the northern hemisphere. Along with the fossil model, this kit also includes an illustrated companion book exploring the notable characteristics and probable living conditions of Leptoceratops. For instance, it was the smallest of all the horned dinosaurs and, for its size, had a quite large head with a parrot-like beak and could move about on either two or four legs. Come in to OISE and check out this activity kit to learn even more!
