What educators are saying
So simple yet so engaging! My class was excited to begin this dig and loved every second of it. It is a mess so be prepared. The resource is perfect and helped us wrap up our fossil unit.
This was ranked in the top 5 activities our class did this year....it was a hit! The instructions are straight forward, the activity is engaging, and you get to eat cookies. Plus, dinos. Great resource!
