Make Your Own T.Rex
Postscript summary
Combine learning with fun and build your own T. rex model, with this kit for 9-12 year olds based on a real T. rex skeleton.
Children will love to learn about the mighty T. rex, as they build this 70cm-long model that's easy to put together. Whilst assembling, they can read the accompanying book that is jam-packed with facts. Each page looks at a different part of the mighty T.rex as you piece it together, building your dinosaur know-how along the way.
This exciting make-your-own dinosaur kit offers:
- A model built of 80 sturdy "bones" that stands 30 cm tall and 70 cm long.
- An easy to assemble kit - no need for glue, the pieces just slot together following the step-by-step instructions.
- A book to learn as you build, packed with facts about this fearsome predator - its anatomy, behaviour, and habitat.
- All the latest information and theories and information about T.rex, including its behaviour and whether it had feathers.
Starting with the base, step-by-step photographic instructions clearly show how each stage of the model slots together. At the same time, you learn about the Cretaceous world, fossils, and palaeontology. Moving onto the legs and feet, discover facts about claws, muscles, the tail, and stance. As you continue to build the model, you'll also learn about dinosaur behaviour, speed, teeth, diet, fearsome hunting techniques, raising young, and defence.
