Dinosaur fossil dig, a brick build

LET’S MAKE A LITTLE SOMETHING

Dinosaur fossil dig

29 pieces 10 steps

Two grassy covers hide a white bone pattern in a shallow dig. Lift the covers away and discover the skull, ribs and long backbone.

Free instructions. No account needed.

Have these shapes handy: Curved brick.

A little before you begin

The bone pattern is a simplified pretend fossil, not an anatomical reconstruction.

The covers lift off separately. The white bones stay attached to the tray.

All covers and bones are included in the parts list.

Count studs to check gaps and overhangs. New pieces keep their colour; earlier pieces look lighter. Before you build →

A LITTLE PREPARATION

Gather your pieces

Match the shapes and quantities. The pictures show our colours. Colour names in the steps refer to the pictures; keep useful contrasts, such as a light belly against a dark body.

WHEN THE BUILDING IS DONE

Now for the little story.

Lift one cover at a time and describe what you find. Point out the skull, backbone and paired ribs. Draw the dinosaur you imagine these pretend bones belonged to.
