My Little Paleontologist (Day 1)

In an effort to keep Blue away from TV, we tried this "Dig A Triceratops Skeleton" kit. The kit includes a special digging tool, a brush and a plaster block from which 12 "fossils" can be excavated. Afterwards, you can build a 20cm Triceratops model from the bones you have unearthed.

...other family members join in...

Thirty minutes into the activity, I got really impatient and took out pliers to make digging faster. The others followed suit by using a screw driver and a paper clip. I now have more respect for Paleontolgists. Man, what patience they must have!

Day 1 ends with three unearthed bones and a lot of pink dust.
Nine more bones to go!

Read on to Day 2
