Egg-citing discovery

Not every Easter egg needs to be filled with candy. The Dig and Discover: Dinosaur Egg — which is actually a 10-inch-long dino egg replica — reveals a little t-rex skeleton as the child excavates, restores, and paints this fascinating faux fossil.

The kit, recommended for aspiring paleontologists ages 7 and older, ignites the child’s imagination with the idea that this tiny terror from the Cretaceous Period was discovered in China’s Green Dragon Mountain.

The kit includes an excavation block, booklet, brushes, tool, and paints, so they can get to work revealing the little dinosaur.
