Area Children Enjoy "Dino Days" at The Mall at Rockingham Park

Kids enjoyed crafts and activities and got to interact with live animals during the event!

The Mall at Rockingham Park’s Simon Kidgits Club invited area children to go back in time and have a blast learning about our giant friends at Kidgits Dino Days on Saturday, May 14! Kidgits enjoyed crafts and activities including making dinosaur terrariums, getting dino tattoos, and decorating dino sticker scenes. Kids also became junior paleontologists, making "fossils" with dinosaur footprints. Zoo Creatures, an exotic pet store in Plaistow, NH, provided an interactive reptile display with live lizards and a 80-pound tortoise for Kidgits to pet!
