Mega Fossil Dig Kit - Excavate 20 Genuine Prehistoric Fossils

Great for the fossils topic inthe science National Curriculum KS2!Children were learning about fossils in science and what made fossils.The clay board is a great representation of how things can become fossilised, and children needed to use tools to soak and chip away at the clay just as a palaeontologist would! This also takes time and children learn to be careful as the fossils don’t just crumble away, you need to dig around them.They dug up lots of fossils - I think it was 15. Each fossil is different and has been fossilised in different ways. Again, great for education.The set comes with a booklet of each fossil too - so children can read up on facts and quiz themselves.The actual activity is great fun, a little messy, but everyone enjoyed it. This is such a good learning tool and great value for money!

Absolutely brilliant. All 3 of my boys really enjoyed this. Will be buying again

Bought this for my grandson and he loved this . It’s like magic really because you don’t know what the item will be !!, full of surprises!!

I have to say, this is actually a great kit for the money. Basic yes, but a decent way, if you take it at a slow enough pace to while away an hour or so with a little one and let them (and you) get excited about all the different fossils you find and can learn about.Its basic in that all you do is chip away at a plaster block and carefully remove the individual pieces but they clean up well, the book does a decent enough job at showing you what each one is and allows you to learn a little in the process.For the money,I think they make a good treat, stocking filler or small present for any child that even has a passing interest in the world of fossils (or other kits like gemstones etc.).We actually bought another, larger kit at another time after this one to excavate and add to the collection, went down just as well as this kit.

Quite messy and my nephew got bored of trying to chip through it after a while. He loved looking at all of the fossils though once they had been dug out. It came with a wide range of different fossils which he enjoyed comparing to his fossil book to find out more about them all. It was a good size and the fossils are reasonable. Good gift that kept him engaged and interested for a while, even if his mum then had to take over near the end.

Our 5 year old grandson absolutely loved this excavating kit. Very exciting! Good variety of fossils. Lovely informative booklet to identify the fossils and a pouch to keep them in. Thankyou. Excellent value.

Absolutely amazing fossils! Bought for my 11 year old granddaughter. She was fascinated and totally loved digging out the fossils and gems. So worth the money and something she’ll keep forever.

Grandson loved this, kept busy for ages. Messy so put on a cloth or tray
