Mindware Dig It Up! The Big Egg
(Mindware $20.95)
Kid can excavate seven prehistoric beasts from T-Rex to Brachiosaurus. Unlike most toys like this that produce lots of dust and chips of plaster like material, Mindware's Dig it Up! kits are designed to be soaked before kids begin using the chisels packed with the kit. You'll want to protect the surface where the muddy clay will land and you may need to give it a second soak as it begins to dry out. The BIG super-duper 7" egg has a variety of dinos inside...not exactly a scientific notion...but the kit also includes information about the various creatures that will no doubt be fun to play with or displayed as a collection. Marked for 4 and up, we think this might be a better choice for early school age kids. It's big enough for two kids to work on together.
