Bring prehistoric learning to life with the Brick Art Dinosaur Discovery Lesson Plan — a ready-to-teach, highly engaging activity that lets students build and explore four iconic dinosaurs using hands-on mosaic art. Perfect for centers, STEM rotations, enrichment blocks, or full-class projects.
Students choose from Stegosaurus, Tyrannosaurus, Brontosaurus, or Triceratops, then use a 16×16 mosaic baseplate and color-coded bricks to recreate their dinosaur while learning about diet, body structure, defense mechanisms, and how these incredible creatures lived millions of years ago.
The lesson is designed to be used with the Brick Art™ Mega Mosaic Box, which includes 4 baseplates and 2,000 mosaic bricks—enough materials for 4 students to each build a different dinosaur. This ensures every group can complete a full set of prehistoric creatures without running out of bricks.
This lesson blends science, art, math, fine-motor development, pattern recognition, and collaboration—all in one unforgettable project.
Teachers love that it’s easy to implement, standards-aligned, and designed for groups of four, with each student building a different dinosaur for a diverse and visually stunning class display.
Perfect for:
✨ Elementary teachers (K–5)
✨ STEM labs & makerspaces
✨ After-school programs
✨ Summer camps
✨ Sub-plans or project-based learning
Turn your classroom into a prehistoric adventure and watch your students light up as they create, compare, and showcase their Brick Art™ dinosaurs!
Engaging, standards-aligned, and roar-some fun—your students will be dino-enthusiasts in no time!
