Main Activities

This is another cool activity that you have to extract the fossil out using the proper tools to extract it out. A really good hand-eye coordination skill can be learned here and patience!

My kids will surely love this, basically you get to make a dino-shaped wrap and eat it later!

Another sensory activity that your children will enjoy learning the process of creating the fossil and also learning about it after.

Kids will also enjoy this art and craft where they get to replicate stone-carved glyphs by the Mayan with the tools provided.
