How to Grow Dinosaur Egg Pets

Dinosaur egg pets are a great gift for any child with an interest in dinosaurs. You can buy this novelty item at almost any novelty store, and sometimes they are even available at museum gift shops, particularly museums that have a large science component. Growing a dinosaur egg is a fun activity to do with your kids or class. Even though they are not real, kids can have fun pretending that they are.
