On Saturday, Jeneric started work on the first model - a Stegosaurus. There are a LOT of pieces (recommended ages are 9 and up. 3 squared = 9, so we figure we're okay) but each is numbered. Together, she and Eric have worked through piece/step 15 of about 50.
She can pop out many of the pieces and put them together. Every now and then a piece takes a bit more finesse than her 3-year old hands can manage and Eric steps in.
So far no legs or plates - we'll keep you posted on the progress.
Oh - and thanks to those who voted on the Christmas movies. Looks like the Grinch is winning, followed by A Charlie Brown Christmas and Mickey's Christmas Carol. Thanks!

Warms the cockles of my heart! Those wooden skeleton kits aren't too bad and fairly easy to assemble. We put together a couple of really large ones for an exhibit at the Delaware Museum of Natural History. If memory serves, we did them in about an hour.
Let me know if she's interested in anything else dinosaurian. I have some dino books that are child friendly and which I would be glad to send on.
