Dinosaur Days — A Month of Fun 



Saturdays and Sundays in October 

 11:00 am-4:00pm. 



DINOSAURS may have vanished 65 million years ago, 

 but you can find them again at Field Museum. All 

 junior paleontologists are welcome weekends in 

 October for our annual Dinosaur Days celebration. 

 Help create a giant dinosaur or design and build a 

 smaller replica of your own. Recognize different 

 types of dinosaurs by creating a dinosaur hat. Make 

 tracks to a display of dinosaur footprints, listen to 

 stories, enter the Dinosaur Olympics, and much 

 much more. 



Have fun while examining our prehistoric earth. All 

 programs are free with Museum admission and tick- 

 ets are not required. A complete schedule of activities 

 is available at the Museum entrances on Dinosaur 

 Days. For more information, 

 call (312) 322-8854. 



Child's Play Touring Theatre 



Saturday and Sunday, October 18 and 19 



2:00 pm. 



Stanley Field Hall 



JOIN IN Child's Play Touring Theatre's "Drama of 

 the Dinosaurs." You might meet some of the lesser 

 known dinosaurs, such as the Sillyosaurus — a very 

 silly dinosaur, the Leanosaurus who cannot seem to 

 stand up straight, and the Triceratops Dentist who 

 takes care of them all. This unique theatre company 

 transforms the stories and poems of Chicago area 

 children into plays and songs for the delight of all 

 ages. Still, they will need your help in the prehistoric 

 production, so come and play with Child's Play 

 Touring Theatre. 



This program is free with Museum admission and 

 tickets are not required.

 lionth birthday before dinosaurs appeared. What was 

 walking, swimming, crawling, or flying around be- 

 fore that? What did our planet look like? Draw your 

 ideas on our giant time line and take a look at our 

 world of long ago. 



Family features are free with museum admission and
