The Woopie dinosaur egg kit lets children feel like real palaeontologists: 12 prehistoric reptile figures are dug out of a giant egg.

This dinosaur excavation kit is an exciting activity that teaches patience and precision and sparks imagination. With the included hammer, chisel and brush, your child gradually frees the dinosaurs from the egg. Each dinosaur found has a card with a description, so they learn each species' name and how it lived. Discovery play is a great way to spend time with parents or friends. Work on a mat or newspaper, as digging makes dust.

What your child develops

• Fine motor skills. The chisel and brush are guided carefully.
• Creativity and imagination. Your child feels like a real scientist.
• Patience and perseverance. The dig happens step by step.
• Knowledge of prehistory. Cards tell about dinosaurs.

How to play

Put the egg on a tray, wear an old T-shirt and start digging together. Compare each dinosaur found with its card.

Arrange the dug-up dinosaurs as your own museum display on a shelf.
