Product Overview

Twelve dinosaur bones arrive in four different lengths, ready to be buried in sand or soil, dunked in water, or hidden outside for kids to dig up and find. Once unearthed, the pieces invite children to investigate, sort, order, and compare what they've discovered, opening the door to early math language along the way. Built to hold up to regular use in an early years setting, the set is safe for younger learners too.
