About This Product

2 years & up. Invite hands-on discovery with 20 smooth, weighted bone replicas for indoor loose parts play or outdoor exploration. The pieces have inset steel weighting and come in three lengths: ten 3" bones, five 4.5" bones, and five 6" bones. Children can compare sizes, count, and make patterns while investigating their resemblance to dinosaur or animal bones. The easy-to-clean set can be used outside with dirt, mud, or water, or brought into science and storytelling activities indoors.

These tactile pieces offer a concrete way to spark questions about animals, history, and the natural world. Try placing the three lengths together for sorting and comparison, then invite children to make a repeating pattern or count how many bones are in each group. In an outdoor setting, the pieces can be explored with messy materials named on the product listing. Their weighted feel provides a different tactile experience from lightweight loose parts.

Start with the three verified lengths and ask children to group the pieces by size. They can count each group, arrange a sequence, or make a pattern before returning the easy-to-clean bones to an indoor loose parts area or outdoor discovery setting.

It was fun to see bones and count them!

The kids enjoyed this set of bones! There are three sizes—which helped the girls categorize the bones into different shapes and pairs. There are 10 total smaller pieces, then 5 pieces each of the large and medium.

Hours of dinosaur digs

5 stars
Never thought something like this would bring my kid so much joy! Even his older sisters get some fun out of setting up “dino digs” for him in the sandbox. So far, they seem pretty durable and like they will last quite a while.

Learning experiences

3 stars
This box of bones are ok. They are all the same size but they are great and durable for playing and learning about what type of bone. For the money I would rather it be different size or just different bones. But all and all it's not bad.

Great for kids

5 stars
Packaging - well packaged, separated by size. Durability- solid, yet light with a soft smooth texture. Easy for little ones to hold and manipulate while also being large enough to not be a choking hazard. General- package advertises age 2+. They are great for kiddos that are Dino fans. They also make great additions to sand box and sensory bins, as well as pretend play.

Educational

Omg these are amazing for teaching my little one about bones. This is such a nice start for him to start learning about big bones and get a little bit of a feel for what they are like. Love them

If You Have a Sandbox You Need This!

5 stars
This is such a great open ended play toy for any child that likes digging, playing in sand, dinosaurs, etc! The bones are great quality! They feel like heavy silicone, but more solid. Definitely not cheap plastic! Bury these in your sand box and let your little archeologist go to work digging them up! They'll also make a great addition to our Halloween decor!

This is a fun and educational toy!

I bought this item for our dinosaur theme thinking it would last only a week but to my surprise it lasted a couple of weeks. I enjoyed watching them discover new and dun was to use the bones and trying to name the dinosaur the bones came from.
