Scientists first learnt about dinosaurs in the 1820s when they discovered fossilised bones. Miranda Walker shows you how to recapture that excitement Dinosaur activities seem to be permanently popular and children are likely to have plenty of artefacts, toys, books, pictures and probably their own pet Diplodocus or Tyrannosaurus Rex to bring in if you adopt a prehistoric theme at your club. You might even be inspired enough to turn the whole setting into a prehistoric playground - if so see 'Picture this', Out of School, February 2003 - but how about a cave-style dinosaur den to start off with?
