Welcome to Smile and Learn! Today, we’re going on a fun adventure to learn about dinosaurs. Are you ready to travel back in time with me? Let’s meet some amazing dinosaurs!
First, let’s talk about carnivorous dinosaurs. These dinosaurs ate meat and were great hunters!
Meet the Velociraptor! It had long, strong legs and arms, and its head was small with sharp teeth. It even had feathers like a chicken!
Next is the Plesiosaur. It lived in the water and was a fantastic hunter with a long neck and strong jaws to catch its food.
Here’s the Spinosaurus! It was much bigger than a crocodile and had a cool fin on its back. It could grow very long and weigh a lot!
Now, let’s see the Pteranodon. It could fly with its big, thin wings and loved to eat fish. It had a neat crest on its head too!
Finally, the T-Rex! It had over 60 teeth and could walk really fast. It was one of the fiercest dinosaurs ever!
These are some of the awesome carnivorous dinosaurs: Velociraptor, Plesiosaur, Spinosaurus, Pteranodon, and T-Rex.
Now, let’s meet some herbivorous dinosaurs. These dinosaurs loved to eat plants!
Here’s the Stegosaurus! It had lots of plates and spikes on its back and tail to keep it safe from danger.
Look at the Triceratops! It was gentle and had three horns on its head. It was a bit like a rhino!
Say hello to the Parasaurolophus! It had a wide snout like a duck and a cool crest on its head.
Meet the Diplodocus! It was one of the biggest dinosaurs with a long neck and tail. Its legs were like an elephant’s.
Finally, the Ankylosaurus! It had a strong tail like a club to protect itself and loved eating low-growing plants.
These are some of the amazing herbivorous dinosaurs: Stegosaurus, Triceratops, Parasaurolophus, Diplodocus, and Ankylosaurus.
That’s all for today! I hope you enjoyed learning about these incredible dinosaurs. Remember, there are many more dinosaurs to discover. Keep exploring and learning!
See you next time on Smile and Learn!
Dinosaur Detective: Go on a dinosaur hunt in your backyard or local park! Pretend you are a paleontologist and look for “dinosaur fossils” (rocks, sticks, or leaves). Once you find them, imagine which dinosaur they might belong to. Are they from a carnivorous dinosaur like the T-Rex or a herbivorous dinosaur like the Triceratops? Draw a picture of the dinosaur you think it belongs to and share your discovery with your family.
Dino Diet Sorting Game: Create two boxes or baskets labeled “Carnivorous” and “Herbivorous.” Gather toy dinosaurs or pictures of dinosaurs from magazines or printouts. Sort them into the correct box based on what they eat. Discuss with a friend or family member why each dinosaur belongs in its box. Can you think of any other animals today that eat similar foods?
Dinosaur Role Play: Choose your favorite dinosaur and pretend to be it for a day! If you choose a Velociraptor, practice running fast and using your “claws” to catch pretend prey. If you choose a Stegosaurus, imagine how you would use your plates and spikes to stay safe. Share your dinosaur day with your class or family by acting out what you did and explaining why your dinosaur behaves that way.

Welcome to Smile and Learn!
Hello!
I heard you might not know much about my cousins, the dinosaurs. Is that true? Don’t worry! With my time machine, we can travel back in time, and I’ll tell you about some of the most famous carnivorous dinosaurs. It’ll be super fun!
[Music][Applause]
This is the Velociraptor. Check out its long, muscular legs and arms! Its head was small and elongated, and its jaw had very sharp teeth used for tearing flesh. Its body was covered in feathers, just like a chicken.
Velociraptor!
Let me introduce you to the Plesiosaur. It was a marine dinosaur and an excellent hunter. Its neck and jaws were designed to help it capture prey easily.
Plesiosaur!
Look, here’s my cousin, the Spinosaurus! Don’t we look alike? Spinosaurus was much bigger than crocodiles, and our skulls are quite similar. Spinosaurus could reach lengths of 32 to 65 feet and weighed several tons. The fin along its back had small spines, which is how it got its name.
Spinosaurus!
This is a Pteranodon. They were flying dinosaurs with very large, thin wings, similar to bat wings. They usually lived near the coast, where they looked for their favorite food: fish. That crest is impressive! I wonder if it’s in fashion.
Pteranodon!
Whoa, here’s the T-Rex! How scary! It had over 60 teeth, and although it couldn’t run, it walked very fast. It is known to have been one of the most ruthless animals ever to inhabit the Earth. I love those tiny little hands!
T-Rex!
I love my dinosaur cousins, and what a coincidence! The ones we’ve learned about today are all carnivores. Look at the cool pictures I took of them:
Velociraptor, Plesiosaur, Spinosaurus, Pteranodon, T-Rex.
What’s the matter? Are you hungry? I’ll tell you more another day. Now I better get out of here in a hurry because I don’t want to be anyone’s snack. See you later!
[Music]
Hey friends! Here I am back in time, ready to show you some more dinosaurs. Today, I’ll be looking for herbivorous dinosaurs. Would you like to join me?
Let’s meet the Stegosaurus! We don’t have to worry about the Stegosaurus eating me because it’s an herbivore. Have you seen how many plates and spikes it has on its back and tail? Stegosauruses use them to defend themselves.
Stegosaurus!
Look, it’s one of the most famous dinosaurs: the Triceratops! It was known to be very docile and tame. It has one horn and three horns—oh, that makes sense! That’s where the name comes from. They were distant cousins of rhinos.
Triceratops!
Hello, Parasaurolophus! These dinosaurs had a wide snout similar to a duck and lots of teeth. Wow, I like your crest!
Parasaurolophus!
Meet the Diplodocus! Did you know it was one of the largest dinosaurs? It had a very long tail and a small head. Its legs were similar to those of an elephant, but its most characteristic feature was its very long neck.
Diplodocus!
And this one—ah, it’s an Ankylosaurus! Do you see that mallet on its tail? It used it to defend itself against enemies. The Ankylosaurus fed on plants that grew close to the ground.
Ankylosaurus!
Look at the pictures I took today of these awesome herbivorous dinosaurs:
Stegosaurus, Triceratops, Parasaurolophus, Diplodocus, Ankylosaurus!
[Music]
And that’s all! I hope you liked learning about my dinosaur cousins. I’m going back home in my time machine. Let’s make sure I don’t get the date wrong again and end up in the year 3000 like last time. See you!
