Growing Reptile

The dollar store as these eggs that you put in water in a couple days it cracks open and there is a chick or reptile inside. You leave the animal in water and it grows in size.

Westley has had a few of these and gets the biggest kick out of them.

To add to the fun, this time, after the lizard hatched, we traced him on paper and measured him. On July 9th he was 2 1/2 inches long.
I believe he reached full size, so today we took him out of the water, traced him again on the same paper, and measured him. He was 5 inches long. I talked to Westley about he doubled in size.



Now out of water he will shrink back smaller again.

I'd say the $1 was worth it :)
