Hi! I’m Rusty. Ready to explore? Let’s look for little clues. A round stone. A long leaf. What can you spot? And guess what? I’ve got new teeth growing! I’m getting bigger every day. We can try something new, one little step at a time. Come on, friend!
Little steps. Brave discoveries.
Rusty has a curious nose and a big sense of adventure. Every path brings a new question. His newest discovery is much closer to home: his very own growing teeth!
A little prehistoric discovery
Dilophosaurus had two crests on top of its head. Its name means “two-crested lizard”.
