From The Toy Box: Dinosaur Excavation Kit

my favorite things, toys, educational toys for children

How is your summer so far? Are you bored or have you found some interesting ways to pass your time. I sure hope I can squeeze in a few more activities before summer is over. I would love to learn how to play one of those 60s guitars, but I am not sure if mum can find an affordable music tutor nearby.

Anyway, it was another one of those lazy summer afternoons when mum unearthed this National Geographic Channel Dinosaur Excavation Kit so I can play with it. I’ve had it for a while now but have not found the time to play with it. I was also down with coughs and colds when we received it that mum kept it until I am well and free from the sniffles. The educational toy kit include this small grey block, a small brush, + a chisel. The goal is to dig into the small block until you find the remains of a dinosaur buried somewhere underneath.

Mum set up my chairs outside + unboxed this toy. I dug the afternoon away, searching for a sign of a dinosaur in between the dust and the rubble. With a little help from mum, I finally managed to dig up this cool seismosaurus from the block. Don’t you think he was cool? It was also an awesome idea to be a little adventurer for a day, searching for this buried treasure. I think dinosaurs are very awesome creatures + I also currently like the film, The Good Dinosaur, which we saw at the cinema a few months back. Mum downloaded a copy + I’ve watched it several times at home.

going back to this alphabet toy, i love then because we can play with them in so many ways. i can use it to help me recite + read the letters  +  memorize the alphabet in proper order, too. they also double as an alphabet puzzle + finding the board that matches the letters + sorting them out is really quite a fun game to play. plus, they also teach me about various animals beginning with different letters, too! 🙂

kids in doodles, toys, my favorite things, educational toys for children

time again for another edition of kids in doodles + i would like you to meet my new laptop, this is actually not-so-new as i’ve got this toy in january as a christmas present from my ninang gold. what i love about this is that it not only helps me practice on my abc’s + 123’s, but it also teaches me how to spell certain words, those which are easy enough for kids my age to do. it also teaches me to spell the numbers as well, + my current favorite is the number “zero.”
