The February/March 2001 issue of Mailbox (preschool) has some ideas.

Playdough - put a small plastic dinosaur and playdough into a plastic egg. They explore the egg to hatch the dinosaur.
Sand Table - Dino Prints - damp sand and do imprints with dinosaurs. Almost like a fossil imprint.
Water Table - Float styrofoam in water and see how many dinos can be on the foam.
Dramatic Play - Palentologists
Literacy - make a stegosaurus and do names on the spikes
Art - dinosaur tracks
Language - describe the dino
