Dinosaur dig kit for kids: excavate fossil replicas

About this toy

Dig & Discover lets children work like a palaeontologist for an afternoon. Inside a large plaster block are twelve model bones. Using a wooden chisel, a small hammer and a brush, the child carefully removes the plaster, uncovers each bone and then puts them together to make a small dinosaur skeleton. A spray of water softens the plaster and makes digging easier. The fact guide explains in simple language how real fossils form, how scientists dig them out and what the dinosaur in the kit was like. It is a good gift for children who love dinosaurs, and an excellent party activity for two children working together. Digging is messy, so work on newspaper or outside.
