Welcome to Wishlist After Dark, folks! Your kid is about to crack open a dozen dinosaur eggs, with the Dig a Dozen Dino Egg Kit from Dan and Darci! It's the perfect gift for kids three to twelve who love dinosaurs and digging for treasure. With me are Penny Pickwell, who reads every review, and Sunny, who's been wagging since rehearsal! Hi, Marty. I read the fine print, so nobody else has to. Hi everyone!

Marty, I already love this one. Dinosaur eggs! Kids chip and brush away each egg to find the dinosaur hiding inside. Sunny, walk us through it! Okay, look at this, twelve eggs to dig out! And every egg gets its own chisel and brush, so nobody fights over the tools. Hold on, a tool for every egg? Then what happens when they find the dinosaur? They get to learn about it! The kit has twelve guides and twelve learning cards.

So it's an archaeology activity with some learning built in. Oh, I can hear it already! A whole table of little diggers yelling about what they found! Before you two start digging up the couch, let's talk about the mess buyers mention. Oh no, dust? So where should they dig, Penny? A table you can wipe down, or on newspaper. And the age range runs three to twelve, so keep a grown-up nearby for the littlest diggers.

Fair! But Penny, it's a today editors' pick for last-minute kids' gifts! It is, and I get why. I'm at seven point six out of ten. Big fun, a little dust. I say eight point two, because every single egg is a brand new surprise! And I'm at eight point five! That makes the After Dark Score eight point one out of ten, just outside the top eight of the forty-four toys we've ranked. So it's a buy for the dinosaur-crazy kid.

Just lay down that newspaper. Put a bow on it, folks! The link's on our site and in the description. See you next time!
