Dino Egg

Two weeks after we attended the Dino Party to celebrate Ammar's birthday, the little girl wanted to see the dinosaur in the egg so we decided to hatch the dino egg that we received in the goodie bag. We immersed the egg in a bowl of water and 12 hours later, out came an orange dinosaur!

A dinosaur was hatched!

Getting to know the dinosaur

At first, the little girl was a little apprehensive of the tiny dinosaur. She asked me to touch it and hold it first. When she was sure that the thing was not real, she held it in her hand and got so excited about it. In fact, she was so happy to hold a baby dino that she put on her party hat and sang the birthday song for it. Then she took her bear and showed the baby dino to it.

"Bear, take a look at the baby dinosaur!"

The baby dino after 12 hours

After playing with it for a few hours, the baby dino went into its pool of water again. The little girl would take it out during her bath-time to shower it but after that, it went into its watery home again as the baby dino was still growing.  I had to look it up as I wasn't sure what kind of dinosaur it was. I found out that it was a spinasaurus. Then after another 48 hours, the dino was no longer a baby but a juvenile!


Look how much it has grown!

I didn't take more pictures of the dinosaur after that but it has definitely grown fatter. I found out that I could get the dino eggs from the gift shop at Science Centre. It would be nice if I could get another one or two of the eggs. Looking forward to our next visit to the Science Centre for the dinosaur exhibition!
