For Christmas Ardon got a dinosaur egg with bones on the inside. It comes with little tools that you use to uncover the bones. We had put it away but came across it when we were going through some things the other day.
He has been asking to dig into it ever since we found it. Today I told him that I would let him use his quiet time to work on it while Elee was napping, that way she wouldn't be in the middle of everything. He was ecstatic and could hardly wait.

We set up a place to start work by the back door, in the sunshine.
Digging into dinosaur eggs is quite a bit of work and takes a lot of concentration!
.
What is that??? Could it be part of a dinosaur?
.
It is! He could hardly wait to get it out.
(The pieces were so tiny I was afraid they would get flicked out and lost forever!)
.
Hurray, we got it!
.
After a bit more digging and finding a few more bones this was the aftermath.
.
I think next time it would be a good idea to get him bathed and dressed in clean cloths 'after' a digging expedition!

The reconstructed dinosaur! This little, bitty thing is made up of 7 parts/bones that you have to assemble. I don't know how long it will stay in tact and with all pieces accounted for but it's a treasure to Ardon for the moment!
