Can Your Dinosaur Walk on Water?

The Belgrade Library was brimming with ideas today, as young inventors worked tirelessly to invent a way for dinosaurs to walk on water! For 'Fun at 1:00' the Museum of the Rockies arrived with several tools and some information about Leonardo da Vinci. They explained that, among his numerous talents, Leonardo da Vinci was an inventor. His ideas included hang gliders, tanks, musical instruments, boats, bridges, and many more things-- one of which was a method for soldiers to walk on water! Was it possible that the kids could create a way for dinosaurs to walk on water?? After the children were given several tools, a toy dinosaur, and a sketch sheet they got to work perfecting devices to aid their dino pals in the quest to walk on water! Once a device was completed it was off to the pool to test it, then back to work to perfect it! Eventually all of our dinosaur friends had a device that either aided them to walk on water or to float comfortably along!
