Dig into the past with our Prehistoric Life Unit Study Kit!
Centered around the book Prehistoric Actual Size by Steve Jenkins, this unit brings dinosaurs and other ancient creatures to life with engaging, interactive lessons that spark curiosity and creativity. Your kids will explore what makes a dinosaur a dinosaur, how paleontologists study fossils, and the many amazing adaptations of prehistoric animals.
Your kids will explore dinosaur traits, fossils, and prehistoric habitats through activities like:
- Compare dinosaurs to other prehistoric animals
- Sort dinosaur characteristics by traits
- Complete a color-by-number dinosaur egg
- Measure and chart dinosaur sizes
- Create a dinosaur model
- Sort herbivores, carnivores, and omnivores
- Dig into a dinosaur excavation site
- Sculpt an air-dry clay skeleton
- Build a prehistoric small world scene
With a blend of science, storytelling, and sensory-rich projects, this kit offers a fun and meaningful way to explore ancient life while building skills across subjects.
This unit study includes 25+ activities, organized into eight easy-to-follow, open-and-go lessons. Schoolhouse Discoveries hands-on unit studies are designed for homeschool families and can serve as a core Science and Social Studies curriculum for grades K–4. Each unit also weaves in Language Arts, Math, Art, STEM, Sensory Play, Cooking, Health, and Movement.
By using multiple themed kits throughout the year, families can build a complete, well-rounded curriculum rooted in hands-on, family-style learning.

Learning Tips
Learning Tips
We’ve divided the learning experiences into eight sections, and we recommend doing the activities in the order suggested as some build upon the next. However, you don’t need to complete all the lesson activities at once if that’s too much for your schedule. Just pause and pick up where you left off next time. Doing these activities two days a week will take four weeks to complete the unit. The activities in this kit were designed for K to 4th graders. But we know kids are at all different levels and interests, so feel free to skip or add-to an activity if it isn’t right for your child(ren). That’s what Schoolhouse Discoveries are all about - having fun learning and finding ways that best fit your needs.
