What you’ll build
Hatch a creature from the past. You'll find a sniffer egg, build a mossy pen and place the egg inside. Check back as the cracks grow, meet your baby sniffer, and once it's grown, watch it dig up ancient seeds.
Finish line: Your sniffer has hatched, has a name and a pen, and you can explain where the egg came from.
Bonus challenge: Plant the seeds your grown sniffer finds and see what ancient flowers grow.
You’ll need
- Sniffer egg
- Moss blocks
- Fence for a pen
You choose
- Sniffer's name
- Pen design
- What to plant from its seeds
Stuck?
- Egg taking forever? Place it on moss. It hatches about twice as fast there.
- Note the time when you place the egg so you know when to check back.
- Sniffers dig on grass, dirt and moss, so give the pen a soft floor.
