The [Dinosaur](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jurassic-world-dinosaur-dig) Poop Dig toy set by Think Geek humorously invites children to become archeologists and excavate fake dinosaur droppings. The Dinosaur Poop Dig toy set comically comes with a toy block that features a dinosaur pooping on it. Children are invited to use the set's [mini brush and chisel tool](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/science-activity-kits) to dig away at the embossed dinosaur till they find a [fossilized surprise](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dinosaur-fossil). This fossil won't be set of bones. Instead, children will find a piece of fake excrement that is allegedly millions of years old. The set also comes with a sheet filled with fun dinosaur facts so children can brush up on their prehistoric knowledge. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.4/10 - Popularity: 61% | Activity: 2% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Alpha - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Life-Stages](https://www.trendhunter.com/life-stages) > [Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/toys) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Comical Toys:** There is an opportunity for disruptive innovation in creating more comical and entertaining toys for children. - **Educational Toys:** Creating educational toys that combine fun and learning can be a disruptive innovation opportunity in the toy industry. - **Fossil Excavation Toys:** Developing more exciting and interactive fossil excavation toys can tap into children's interest in paleontology and provide a disruptive innovation in the toy industry. ### Who This Affects Most - **Toy Industry:** The toy industry can explore disruptive innovation opportunities by focusing on developing unique and entertaining toys for children. - **Education Industry:** The education industry can leverage disruptive innovation by incorporating more interactive and educational toys into learning experiences. - **Paleontology Industry:** The paleontology industry can embrace disruptive innovation by creating engaging and realistic fossil excavation toys that spark children's interest in dinosaurs and prehistoric life. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Digital Dinosaur Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bitzee-jurassic-world.md) - [Dinosaur-Themed Puzzle Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dinosaur-fossils-triceratops-skull.md) - [Dinosaur Fossil Puzzle Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-dinosaur-fossils-trex-skull.md) - [Interactive Hatching Dinosaur Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dinosaur-toys.md) - [Dinosaur Intricate Puzzle Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dinosaur-fossils-tyrannosaurus-rex.md) - [Reversible Dinosaur Plushies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glow-in-the-dark-dinosaur-plushies.md) - [Collectible Dinosaur Desk Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chrome-dino.md) - [Interactive Fossil-Inspired Costumes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wearable-dinosaur-costume.md) - [Dinosaur Tile STEAM Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dino-adventure-pack.md)
