Dinosaur Dig Up Activity with Free Printables

It’s no lie my oldest is very fond of dinosaurs. We’ve had a three-rex dinosaur third birthday party and one year our holiday card was all about the dinosaurs.

We have also decorated our home with this dinosaur home decor and wrapped Christmas gifts with these dinosaur gift tags.

This review is based strictly on my opinion. I was provided samples free of charge by Mindware to provide my honest review. No other type of compensation was received. All ideas and opinions are my own.

When Mindware gave us the opportunity to test out their Dig it Up! The Big Egg activity, we jumped at the chance. We love any and all dinosaur activities for kids. 

This dinosaur activity would be so much fun for a birthday party, a play date, or simply a Saturday at home like we enjoyed it.

I also took it as an opportunity to create some fun dinosaur printables that I’m sharing with you today for free. 

Set up the Excavation Site

It only takes a few minutes to set up this dinosaur digging activity. 

Have your kiddo suit up in the Explorer Vest and grab their own dig pass badge, which you can download below and customize with their name on it by filling in the form fields with Adobe Reader (free software). 

You might have an old conference badge lying around, but if not you can get these vertical badge holders and lanyard online or at a local office supply shop.

The Excavation Site sign and the Party Like a Dinosaur sign add some additional rawr-some vibes to the activity. 

You’ll want to place down some newspaper or use a tray because this activity is a little messy! I liked the little mat that came with the Excavation Tools set.

The dinosaur egg itself comes with a chisel, but I recommend getting the extra tool set. 

Once you soak the egg in water for 5 minutes, you are all set to start excavating.
