 | Dinosaur Egg HuntClick for detailsYou're familiar with the movie toy tie-in; this may be the first magazine toy tie-in. National Geographic uses an article (reproduced in the kit) on the discovery of fossilized dinosaur eggs to guide kids on their own dino egg hunt. A replica of a 10-inch therizinosaur egg comes with a plastic mallet, chisel, fine brush, and (needed) safety goggles. Kids chip away at the soft chalky part of the egg to find the baby dino skeleton underneath. The tools aren't all they could be; the chisel tip isn't exactly a power drill when it comes to digging out the dino, but then again, patience and persistence are a paleontologist's most important tools. A full afternoon of chisel-whacking fun. (Ages 7 to 10)- |

The elephant-size Styracosaurus of the late Cretaceous Period was equipped with the most spectacular set of horns in the animal kingdom. Perhaps this Styracosaur is revelling in a dust bath much as elephants do today, or maybe he has wheeled to face an intruder, kicking up a cloud of dust in his excitement. Since it happened over 65 million years ago, we'll never know which it was.
