Our pattern of the month is the Triceratops! Kids have always been fascinated by dinosaurs. In the preschool crowd that I run with it seems that T-rex is the most popular and then the triceratops. This month we are featuring the triceratops. We’ll feature the T-rex in a later month.
Fun Facts About Triceratops
- They had about 400-800 teeth which were constantly being replaced.

- The skull of the triceratops could grow to 7 feet in length.
- Scientists think the frill behind the triceratops’ head was probably useful as a defense against predators like the T-rex.
