Noor and the Layers of TimeA free adventure for children aged 6 and up

The museum of Foxdale opens tomorrow, and the biggest display case is still empty. Noor, a mole girl and an archaeologist, promises to find the oldest treasure. And the deeper she digs, the older the time she ends up in.

The story

Digging all the way down to the time of the dinosaurs

So far, Noor has mostly found bottle caps. Now, just for once, she wants to find something really old, with her name next to it. Foxy has already written the labels for the display case: he knows what it's going to be anyway.

Under the museum garden, time lies in layers. Noor climbs down to the year 1050, to the Romans, to the Ice Age and to a swamp from 125 million years ago. On the way, she meets a beaver who gnaws at his own castle, a bear who isn't allowed to talk and a dinosaur who loves to stick his thumb up.

Noor guesses first and then checks how things really are. Everything is voiced, so even children who can't read fluently yet can play by themselves. If your child gets stuck for a moment, Noor helps with a hint.
