The big dig.


Eli has continued his love-affair with palaeontology, partly spurred on by me giving him a replica fossil tooth (which he needed to excavate himself) for Christmas. Since that was such a hit, we've since bought a few more too, so he now has an ever-growing collection of replica fossils which includes teeth, insects and sea creatures...


Here he is, out the back of our house (this is definitely an outdoors activity), happily chipping away in search of fossils! He's very dedicated and will happily spend at least half an hour chipping and brushing away to unearth his treasures...if only real palaeonotological digs were that fast!
