If your kids are anything like mine, they can break things merely by thinking about them. The idea for this activity was inspired by yet another broken toy. Somebody managed to rip the head off a plastic dinosaur skeleton. How they managed to do this with their tiny tot fingers is beyond me, because that sucker was TOUGH. But it occurred to me that this would be a great opportunity to create a mini dinosaur dig site. It was so simple to put together, and my kids loved being little paleontologists. Picking away at the dirt with tools of various sizes is great for those fine motor skills. So if you have a dino-enthusiast in your home, give this dinosaur dig activity a try!
