Time to break stuff! The dino excavating kit came with a block and a wooden "chisel". |
It was hard trying to chisel away at chalk with basically a popsicle stick, so out came the hammer. |
I have no idea who 6 year old kids would be able to dig plastic bones out without a hammer without Hulk Smashing the crap out of it. |
Here it is..the rib cage and other spine/hip bits! The garage floor was a mess at this point..you'll see what I'm talking about... |
Here, I found a fossil!! |
The mess. |
Our findings! |
Rich and I went to a local toy sale and picked this "dig out your own dinosaur" kit! How awesome! He needed parts for a Star Wars related project and this was a fun and messy way to obtain them. We've shopped for similar kits before and they retail for $14 and up. Clearly for $5, we had to buy. This was a great way to spend 15 minutes! (I'm not even being sarcastic.) I can't wait to see his finished project. :)
