Dinosaur Themed Yoga

Who knows kids that are dinosaur crazy?  Honestly, at my house they are not.  I had made my oldest son’s bedroom a dinosaur theme and once he had an opinion that room switched to a sports theme.  That being said I’ve worked with tons and tons of kids that LOVE dinosaurs.  I started out with some fun dinosaur moves and have now expanded the dinosaur collection into dinosaur themed yoga.

Dinosaur themed yoga pose ideas. Fun ideas for a dinosaur themed party, classroom, or brain breaks. Great for preschool gross motor, therapy sessions, and more. Everyone will love these fun ways to move like a dinosaur!
