I remember when the "Land Before Time" first came out. We all loved it. It is one of those cartoons that attract even the adults. I still have the movie on Videotape. Our daughters loved it and now our Grandchildren enjoy it as well. There is just something about prehistoric life that draws the viewer into the movie.
I found this really cool site that offers FREE Downloads of coloring sheets, Dinosaur masks and party activities ideas.
They also have down-loadable games and activities.
You can find all the above activities at this site.

It is a great place to find activities that will keep the kids from getting bored over the holidays. Hope yo enjoy it.

I loved that movie, in particular, Sarah. I still love watching movies like that, and so does my s/o, lol. Even when it's just the two of us. We watch animated movies, and it has come such a long way, the animation is so incredible. One of my top favorites now is Polar Express.

Oh yes Little Foot and the gang. I loved each and every episode. I was just out of college when The Land Before Time was first aired on Cartoon Network in India. It had a morning slot of 8 or 8:30 am and I remember gaping in front of the TV with my breakfast bowl devouring every incident, cheering on the gang, laughing and crying with them, following each turn of events with bated breath. I miss such beautiful serials in TV these days. They were actually the stuff kids should grow up watching and not the violent trash being dished out from every kids’ channel worth its rating.

Yes I remember it. It was a cute movie. I ought to find it for my neice and nephew. My nephew loves dinosaurs and dragons. Also my bestfriends son loves them also. I think he had this movie though. I'm not really sure but this is a good movie for adults and kids.

I have not seen that movie. It was after my time when I had small children. Then it was the Flintstones, Bugs Bunny, and all those Disney movies, but my sons were interested in sports. They did go through a dinosaur stage, but there were no good dinosaur movies then. That was in the 70s. -Oh we had Star Wars. My granddaughter is only six months old, not old enough for movies yet.

Oh my goodness, my kids loved Land Before Time! Ducky and Petrie were their favorites! My youngest had the hand puppets and she would spend hours playing with those things....
She learned a lot about dinosaurs from that show! I wish they had more good shows like that now for kids...

I actually enjoy "Land Before Time" myself and although I first bought the video for my kids when they were young I still have it and the grandkids now enjoy it. I'm going to have to pop over to this web site for my grandson (5) I'm sure he would love helping grandma print out the pictures and then color them for me.

I am sending this link to Miss Scully, our wonderful kindergarten teacher and Mrs. Hoar, our first grade teacher. They are going to just love it. I saved it so that the next time my 3 year old niece comes, I can download her some new color sheets. I am always looking for things like this, since I'm in education and have nieces that are small.

Same here, I also love that movie because it taught children the values of unity, friendship and trust in a way that is very understandable for the children. I have watched that movie more than five times during my childhood days. I even cried watching it.
