Let's feel it together!
The outer packaging adopts cartoon dinosaur pictures, which is in line with children's preferences.
Out of the box are three digging tools and a piece of drywall.
Digging Tools: A wooden hammer, chisel, brush. The size is suitable for a child to hold. Gypsum board is natural and non-toxic, and dinosaur fossils are hidden in it~
The water flow for about 15 seconds to soak the plaster is to prevent dust during the excavation process and also reduce the difficulty of excavation. Gypsum is highly absorbent and will not loosen or seep after flushing.
Children can start digging from anywhere.
It is recommended that parents place a piece of cardboard under the gypsum board before the child digs, so that the gypsum fragments can be cleaned up later.
If you are worried that the child is too weak to dig, you can fill it with water to soften it at any time, and parents can help the child to do it together.
The gypsum material looks similar to the field, which can be said to highly restore the experience of archaeological excavation.
The traces of the skeleton have already appeared, and even adults seem to understand the surprise of archaeologists' work, and children will have a sense of accomplishment in this process.
Here is a piece of plaster that contains the forelimbs of the dinosaur. The skeleton of the dinosaur is scattered, not excavated or a whole. Parents should remind the baby not to discard the gypsum blocks at will during the excavation process to prevent the loss of part of the skeleton.
Like an archaeologist, use a small brush to remove the dust between the bones.
These are all the dinosaur skeletons that were eventually excavated and cleaned.
Including two skulls, a jawbone, limbs, and vertebrae, it will not cause difficulty that children cannot complete. There is also a crack effect on the skeleton, which can be said to be a very realistic fossil model.
The next step is the manual splicing process. By observing the matching and splicing the corresponding parts, it helps children to recognize the structure of the limbs and accumulate common sense. The variety of toys is also reflected here.
You're done, the complete Triceratops skeleton is very fulfilling. The finished dinosaur mouth can also be opened and closed, which is interesting. It's also very cool to put up. Senior dinosaur fans, even the fossil models should be collected!
Although the toy box is marked as suitable for ages 6 and above, parents can flexibly judge whether they can already participate in the mining game with the help of their parents according to their children's growth and development.
The gameplay can be carried out in the form of a blind box. Parents do not tell the baby what dinosaurs are in it in advance, let them discover the dinosaurs by themselves, actively identify the dinosaurs, mobilize the enthusiasm of the children, and deepen their memory. It can also exercise reverse thinking and improve thinking ability.
