The NPSOT Lindheimers hosted a table at Dinosaur Day on Saturday, March 21st, 2026, at the Heritage Museum of the Texas Hill Country.
In addition to an information table for grownups, we had another table where children attending Dino Day could create a biodegradable origami flowerpot.
The origami flowerpots were made of kraft paper, carefully folded to create a biodegradable pot to plant directly in the ground. Depending on the age of the creative child, the pot could first be folded, then stamped with a depiction of a flower or a butterfly, colored with markers, or adorned with stickers. Younger kids could get creative with pre-assembled pots.
It was a beautiful day for an outing with the kids. There were many participating organizations with projects designed to entertain and educate youngsters—as well as their parents.
Our chapter maintains a native plant demonstration garden on the grounds. Because some bluebonnets had strayed from the garden itself into the surrounding path, they were transplanted into pots to be given away to event attendees.
Everyone attending the annually-held Dino Day left with happy memories and souvenirs.
