busy and in one place for 8 hours "Makes My Monday."
For Christmas, Mark received a Pter0saur Prehistoric Excavation Kit. I believe the exact kit Mark received is no longer made, but the kit I linked to is very similar.The dinosaur bones are encased in very hard brick, and Mark needed to use all his archeologist skills to unearth the bones and reconstruct the dinosaur.
I really wondered how long he would stick to it. Daddy helped him get started, and the minute a tiny piece of plastic bone was exposed---he was hooked!
It is not a real clean activity---but what archeologist is worried about cleanliness.

It is not a real clean activity---but what archeologist is worried about cleanliness.My archeologist does get pretty excited when he begins to unearth a large bone.
He spent hours with this little digging tool and paint brush to wipe away the dust.
Even a big brother begged to be allowed to remove just one bone---Mark watched very carefully to make sure he removed one and only one.....
Day 2--when I wasn't looking (and NOT taking pictures) Mark assembled the complete pterosaur skeleton!

so great to see such happiness and joy!
