Singapore can be considered the Land of Shopping Malls, so when one mall is indistinguishable from its competitors, fringe activities like roadshows help attract more traffic to malls that work hard at wooing the crowd.

Take for instance how the Science Centre set up a dinosaur exhibit at Northpoint, the mall nearest my house. The personnel used a small area, but I thought they did a fantastic job at garnering interest with the use of cardboard dinosaur sculptures:

Happy that my boy could answer that cardboard is used for the sculptures because it is strong and flexible.

I have never heard of the Patagotitan until today. The staff taught my boy how to make his own Paragotitan origami.

The best part of the exhibition was seeing the femur bone of a Patagotitan. I doubt it was real, but curious children don’t care about authenticity anyway. My children were eager to compare their heights with that of the bone.

I seized the opportunity to inform my boy that we humans have a femur (thigh) bone too. I was happy to furnish him with more Science facts!
