Dinosaur Dung Toys

The Dinosaur Poop Dig Lets Children Excavate Comical Prehistoric Remains

— July 23, 2014 — Life-Stages
If a dinosaur's fossils can last millions of years in the ground chances are that dinosaur dung can too. The Dinosaur Poop Dig toy set by Think Geek humorously invites children to become archeologists and excavate fake dinosaur droppings.

The Dinosaur Poop Dig toy set comically comes with a toy block that features a dinosaur pooping on it. Children are invited to use the set's mini brush and chisel tool to dig away at the embossed dinosaur till they find a fossilized surprise. This fossil won't be set of bones. Instead, children will find a piece of fake excrement that is allegedly millions of years old. The set also comes with a sheet filled with fun dinosaur facts so children can brush up on their prehistoric knowledge.
