When we visited the Museum of Natural History in Iowa, we of course had to make a stop in the gift shop to see what kind of dinosaur loot they had. A hatching dinosaur egg was of course a must:
These things are pretty cool – you put them in warmish water and wait for the dinosaur to bust out of the shell. Princess Nagger wanted to get it started right away:
Princess Nagger decided it was time to let her newly acquired Dinosaur Friends watch the hatching process. You know, an educational experience:
Even the new Pteranodon ring had to check things out:
It’s hard to be patient waiting for progress (and not pick at the shell to speed up the hatching process):Unassisted Progress:Meet Demetri the Dimetrodon:
Yes, she named it and yes, I had to ask her what kind of dinosaur it was because I had no clue. She saw me putting this post together last night, so she decided it was time to drop him in the drink again to make him grow (they can be regrown over and over). So Demetri is currently expanding his size:
I have a feeling Santa will be bringing a few of these this year since Princess Nagger loves them, and they enable hours of fun.

I am going to have to remember these for Christmas. They are so cool.
My kids love those too – they make great loot bag stuffers :).

Very cool. My kids never had anything like that. Too fun!
BTW, I love the new name and the new look. (Possibly not all that new as I haven’t been around for awhile. ) 🙂
