Dinosaur Dig Kit T-Rex Skeleton

Grab your tools and get digging: with the T-Rex dig kit from Lisciani's «I'm a Genius» range, little researchers slip into the role of real palaeontologists. Hidden inside the solid block lies the skeleton of the most famous dinosaur of all – the Tyrannosaurus Rex. Using the supplied tools, it is uncovered layer by layer until, one by one, all the bones come to light. Suspense and a sense of achievement are guaranteed, because no one knows in advance which bone will appear next.

Once the pieces have been excavated and cleaned, they are assembled into an impressive T-Rex skeleton. The illustrated poster and instructions playfully explain how the dinosaur was built and how palaeontologists work. The kit thus combines dexterity, patience and real knowledge – learning and playing in one. An ideal gift for everyone who loves dinosaurs and enjoys discovering things for themselves.

How to use

Place the excavation block on a protected surface (e.g. an old tray or newspaper, as digging creates dust). Using the little hammer and chisel, carefully loosen the material around the bones. Then clean the uncovered pieces with the brush and assemble them into the skeleton following the instructions. A little water makes digging easier and binds the dust. It is best to work calmly and take your time – that way digging is the most fun and all the bones stay intact.

Tips and tricks

• Indoors, dig on a tray – it keeps the table clean.
• Briefly soak the block in water beforehand, then it is easier to work on.
• Work calmly, layer by layer – that way all the bones stay intact.
• The finished skeleton makes a great decoration for a child's room.
