About this word search
Many of the best Tyrannosaurus fossils come from Montana and the Dakotas, and Colorado has made the Stegosaurus its state fossil. For American kids, that puts the subject a lot closer to home than they might expect, and a natural history museum is the obvious next stop.
In a big grid, long names are the friendliest. Begin with Prehistoric and Velociraptor, then Meteorite. Reversed and slanting words are allowed here, which matters most for little ones like Dig, Egg and Bone, three letters each and easy to read past.
Afterward, split the list into Herbivore and Carnivore. Young experts usually know that Triceratops ate plants and Velociraptor did not, and they will gladly explain how they can tell from the Teeth.
