– we had amargasaurus, daedon, anzu wyliei and a mastondonI like to lay down a giant towel or table cloth under our sensory tray for the kids to play on because the rice will go everywhere. The kids do love it though so I don’t mind cleaning up the huge mess, they’re really good helpers.
My son was really impressed with how large amargasaurus was, he doesn’t really fit onto our tray because his tail is so long.
