We also created a dino-style land complete with a volcano. Truth be told, I am sure it is not the Biblically correct layout.
No one really knows exactly "when" the dinosaurs died. There are all types of theories. I personally like to believe that they existed right along-side Adam and Eve and then became extinct after the flood. That is how the book we are reading presents it, and I just like that theory.
I have also heard theories (of those that they were part of the gap theory) that they came before Adam & Eve and during the gap between Genesis 1:1 & 1:2. Regardless, we know that GOD CREATED. And we wanted to create and have fun ourselves.

Wow! I'm amazed at your patience! The boys look like they loved making that. So cute! (I like your dishes, too!)
I personally believe like you do about the dinosaurs. Some believe they even went into the ark during Noah's flood: Noah took baby dinosaurs into the ark! That seems plausible!
I find the pre-Adamic creation theory interesting, and also the gap theory.
But, then, the Bible says that "death came into the world by sin" so I guess nothing died before Adam sinned.
'Course some people say that the pre-Adamic creation sinned and died when God judged it....
Oh, well, the secret things belong the the Lord, right?
We used to play "hunt the dinosaurs" with our boys when they were little. We'd have them hid their eyes, and we'd hide their plastic dinosaurs around the house (like Easter eggs) and turn off the lights. We'd hand the boys flashlights and have them go around the dark house hunting the dinosaurs. Whoever found the most dinosaurs won a little prize! They loved it.
We also used to play "nine door hide and seek" because we lived in a 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom apartment and there were loads of doors: to the 2 bedrooms; to the 2 bathrooms; to the water-heater closet; to the bedroom closets -- 9 in all. We'd have them hide behind one of the 9 doors, and then go looking for them. They loved that, too!
I love your ideas Mary! I will just have to try your game ideas... very creative! :-)
Loved the project..they did an awesome job!!!! That first pic looked like a dino massacre though....I would have had to side with Jonathan!!!! :)
Yes Lisa, and there is just something about the consistency of a hot dog that made it seem more realistic. It all looked pretty disgusting.
