Kit #3: Dinos and Fossils
First, listen to a read-aloud with Mrs. Bailey about a dinosaur who loves words, Stegothesaurus, by Bridget Heos.
Next, open your kit, and follow the instructions inside. Discover some things that lived long ago by identifying some real fossils, then dig out a dinosaur from its egg. Need help identifying your fossils? Check out some photos.
