This week's craft was a purchased craft kit.

Extension Activities:

- After reading Cookiesaurus Christmas, make sure to add some dinosaurs to your holiday.  Make and decorate dinosaur Christmas cookies, add a dinosaur ornament to your tree, etc.

- Discuss with your child about their (and yours) favorite parts of the holidays.  What do they look forward to the most?  What do they dislike?
