{"product_id":"the-hatch-lab-dinosaur-egg-science-set","title":"The Hatch Lab | 60-Piece Growing Dinosaur Egg Science Set, Ages 3 to 12","description":"\u003cp\u003eEvery child asks how a dinosaur egg worked. The honest answer involves sixty-five million years and a lot of geology, which is a hard sell at bedtime. The Hatch Lab answers it with a mechanism a six-year-old can run in a glass of water: an osmotic shell that swells, softens and splits over twenty-four to seventy-two hours, revealing a growing animal inside.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSixty eggs ship in the set, each a compressed shell around a hollow-growing figure. Drop one in water at room temperature, keep it submerged, and watch the shell craze, lift and break away as the interior absorbs water and expands. The pace is deliberately slow. A toy that transforms in five minutes teaches nothing about patience; three days of checking a glass on a windowsill teaches observation, measurement and the vocabulary of a hypothesis. Children start predicting which egg will open first, and the prediction turns out to be testable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe set is built for classrooms as much as kitchen tables. Sixty eggs divide neatly into table groups, the growth window fits inside a single school week, and the daily change is visible enough to record in a simple chart. Ages three to six engage with the surprise; ages six to twelve engage with the questions about why water moves through a membrane and why the figure stops growing once it reaches its formed size. CE and CCC certification covers the toy classification, and the choking hazard warning applies as it does to any small-part item in this age band.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRefill the water daily, keep the glass out of direct sun, and photograph the same egg at the same time each morning. The sequence of photographs is the actual lesson. The toy is a bonus that arrives at the end of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"product-features\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"list-style:none;padding:0;\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✦ Sixty growing eggs in one set, enough for a full classroom of table groups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✦ Hatching window of 24 to 72 hours that rewards daily observation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✦ Osmotic growth mechanism a child can run without adult tools\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✦ Suitable for ages 3 to 6 as a discovery toy and 6 to 12 as a science activity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✦ CE and CCC certified toy classification\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✦ Encourages prediction, measurement and simple record keeping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✦ Works with an ordinary glass of room-temperature water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"product-specs\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"list-style:none;padding:0;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding:9px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQuantity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 60 eggs per set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding:9px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth mechanism:\u003c\/strong\u003e water absorption and shell breakdown\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding:9px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHatch window:\u003c\/strong\u003e 24 to 72 hours depending on water temperature\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding:9px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended age:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3 to 6 years discovery, 6 to 12 years guided activity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding:9px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCertification:\u003c\/strong\u003e CE, CCC and Europe CE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding:9px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTheme:\u003c\/strong\u003e animals and nature\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding:9px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e SP001\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding:9px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater requirement:\u003c\/strong\u003e room-temperature tap water, kept submerged\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding:9px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarning:\u003c\/strong\u003e choking hazard, small parts, adult supervision advised\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding:9px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStorage:\u003c\/strong\u003e dry, sealed, away from humidity before use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"product-applications\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eApplication Scenarios\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrimary teachers run the set as a week-long science unit, assigning one egg per pupil and a shared chart on the wall.

Party hosts hand one egg to each guest as a take-home favour that keeps working after the cake is gone.
