Mine For Fossils Science Kit

Mine for Fossils allows children to play paleontologists while they uncover ten real fossils utilizing tools just like the professionals use at dig sites. Every unique specimen in the fossil kit existed millions of years ago, and now they give children a first-hand look into the historical value and interesting characteristics of fossilized remains. Featuring the tooth of a shark, brachiopods, a dinosaur bone, and many others, this fossil kit for kids lets young archeologists hold relics from the past in their own hands as they examine the interesting characteristics of each one. Using a digging tool and a fossil brush, kids will uncover and clean each of the fossilized pieces of the past to compare and contrast the unique differences between each of the ten fossils they excavate using this fun earth science kit.

While digging is usually a rather messy experience, even if done in the name of science, Mine for Fossils includes a metal activity tray to keep the mess contained. As young paleontologists uncover each ancient treasure in this fossil kit, they can refer to the full-color adventure guide to identify which prehistoric creature caused each fossilized formation. An introduction provides general information about what fossils are and how they were formed, so kids aren't only engaged in a fun digging activity, but an educational one that gives them real hands-on experience with paleontology. After learning how to carefully uncover each amazing fossil, including the cool spiral structure of a sliced and polished ammonite, kids will have ten naturally preserved fossils to add to their collection of artifacts.
