Well, I hit the dino jackpot!
While I didn't take pictures of all of our activities in process, I did take some.
Laundry bag:I set out the bag of wooden dinosaur cutouts (see 1st photo) as a reference for the shape of a dinosaur. I drew a dinosaur with a Sharpie-freehand.
Carefully, I cut on the inside my marker lines-cutting through both
sides of the bag-which made 2 dinosaurs.
We dipped the poly scrubbers (1st photo) into fabric paint and
made spots on our dinosaurs.
------------------------------------------------
We used the green, yellow,and purple circles for a balance activity.
I placed two of each color on top of each other to give them a little dimension. Place them on the floor and stomp from each circle. Note: Save the circles and for future use with a homemade game of Twister, dice, or another activity, such as making a circle frame craft with your child's picture for his/her grandparents . I thought this package was great with the variety of colors...for $1!

Stamp:
The stamp looked like a dinosaur footprint to me!
(Look at him use his left hand!)
This came home in AJ's backpack one day-they made soap dinosaur eggs! It took a good few days to use up all the soap, but at the end AJ had a pterodactyl!
Not Pictured:
*We decorated our wooden dinosaur cutouts-we had plenty leftover for future use. Idea: Tie their tails together to make dino-garland.
*We sorted small dinosaurs by the number of feet they had.*I printed out dinosaur coloring pages and cut the sponges into small circles. We dipped the sponge circles into paint and made spots on our dinosaurs.
*We played with 3 different dinosaurs (play size-also found at the dollar store) and felt their different textures, weights, etc.
