Four clear steps from block to display.

01
Prepare the work area

Place the block on a tray, paper, or another surface that is easy to clean.

02
Tap and scrape slowly

Use the hammer and chisel a little at a time. Reduce pressure when a part appears.

Look closely

Compare the assembled model with the crocodile picture and labeled features.

Organize the pieces

Lay out every cleaned part before assembly so each head, body, leg, and tail section is easy to find.

Record the finish

Complete the certificate after the excavation and build are done.

Follow the 6+ age recommendation

The package warns of small parts and states that the kit is not for children under 3 years.

Keep an adult nearby
