Tyrannosaurus Rex Skeleton Casting Kit
Ages: 4 and up
Did you ever make something with Plaster of Paris when you were a kid? It is a lot of fun to start out with a mushy liquid, and end up with a cool model that you can paint! With this kit, you start out by pouring the plaster (which they call "Perfect Plaster" into the mold. After the plaster has hardened, you pop the pieces out of the molds, and then you get to paint them! The kit also includes magnets that you can attach to the back of each piece, so you can assemble it like a sort of puzzle on a magnetic surface. Some people opt to glue the pieces together instead. The mold can be reused again and again... either as a mold for more plaster, or as a playdough mold, or even as a candy or cookie mold!
The kit also includes a booklet that shares interesting facts about the dinosaur, as well as the name, and function, of each individual bone. Kids who enjoy memorizing the names of things will enjoy this aspect of the kit!
