Creating Kid Friendliness

It seems that I may really need to look into making my own child friendly information pages. I may also need a full time, free, coloring page illustrator to do that. You cannot have fun kid oriented learning without fun coloring pages! Because we are lacking in every category that I normally look for in terms of presenting on Sundays, here are some facts that can be shared quickly with the younger bunch in your lives :

Name:

Appalachiosaurus (Greek for "Appalachia lizard"); pronounced ah-pah-LAY-chee-oh-SORE-us
montgomeriensis (for Montgomery County, Alabama)

Habitat:

Swamps of North America

Historical Period:

Late Cretaceous (77 million years ago)

Size and Weight:

The discovered skeleton is estimated to be about 7m (23ft) long and weigh about 600kg (1300lbs) as a living animal!

Diet:

Carnivore. It eats meat.

Discovered:

Appalachiosaurus was discovered in 2005 in Alabama, US.
