🦴 Digging into the Past

On July 24, our young paleontologists (ages 4-7) traveled back in time... way, way back! We explored the fascinating world of fossils and prehistoric life here at the Museum of the Mississippi Delta.

🪨 Highlights from the day:

Excavating surprise rocks! Each child cracked open their very own surprise rock to discover a hidden dinosaur figure inside. The excitement was off the charts!

Playdough impressions: pressing shells, dinosaur toys, and ferns into dough to create "fossils"

Fossil rubbing plates: creating artwork while learning about ancient creatures

Exploring our fossil display: real shark teeth, trilobites, and more from the museum's collection

A visit to the mammoth fossil -- the children were intrigued and asked so many thoughtful questions!
