Jace the Dinosaur Excavator

Last night Earl and I bought Jace this little Dig-It Dino's Excavation Kit at Cracker Barrel. It was $4.99 and Jace spent hours chiseling away at the egg.

Here's Jace getting started.

The kit comes with the egg, a hammer, chisel, a matt, brush and knife.

Everything a dino excavator needs.

Jace thinks all of the dust is pretty neat

Our sofa thought otherwise!

Jace finally got a hole in the egg.

This process took him about an hour.

This is getting exciting!
Jace can identify the Dinosaur now

but we have to be very careful with our chiseling

so we don't break the dino bones.

and Jace did it!

Now he has a plastic dinosaur skeleton.

Jace had to go dig through his box of dinosaurs until he found the one that matched the skeleton.

The inside of the egg had imprint of the bones in it which was pretty cool.

This morning Jace spent another hour or so chiseling the rest of the egg just for fun.

So all in all I think it was $4.99 well spent.

A few hours of entertainment, a little toy and a neat educational experience.
