🦖 PREHISTORIC DIGS & PRECIOUS GEMS! 💎
​We had big fun today at the Roxby Downs Library! We unboxed a delivery from Libraries SA and immediately turned it into an outback discovery zone.
​Our mini-palaeontologists had a busy day:
​🕵️‍♂️ Sifting through sand at our archaeology "dig" stations to find fossils and mystery gems.
​🦕 Building dino habitats and diving into imaginative play.
​✨ Getting hands-on with real, local "Painted Lady" rocks and gemstones!
​Thank you to Pippa and the wonderful library crew for getting everything set up, and to all the kids who came out to explore, dig, and play.
