THAMES AND KOSMOS I DIG IT EXCAVATION KITS. Do your kids (or you) have an affection for dinosaurs, discovering fossils and gems? Thames & Kosmos I Dig It Excavation kits are great for discovering these artifacts.  Each kit comes with everything needed to unearth these treasures.  Small hammer and chisel to dig into the plaster bricks in which the fossils are cast. A well detailed manual and full color keepsake information sheet is included too. My kids and their friends enjoyed the digging, though a little messy it was worth it when they came upon the dinosaur tooth, mineral rocks, baby dinosaur and other gems. There is even a glow in the dark dinosaur skeleton.  The kit is fairly easy to use. The plaster looks tough but it breaks down fast enough with water as the instructions advise. Definitely an outdoor activity, although if you have a plastic tablecloth or drop cloth this would make a great indoor rainy day activity as well.  Set your young paleontologist and geologist to work.  Kits are available on Amazon.com 

We held a sponsored Thames and Kosmos IDigIt Dinos party.  It was awesome to see a group of 12 year olds doing something besides playing video games! They dug, chiseled, scraped, and brushed these ““dig sites” for a few hours...happily chatting while they worked.  Clean up was easy as I had a table cloth under their work area and just shook it off after the party.  The kits are super cool and any dinosaur lover will enjoy them.   There is also a rock/mineral kit available.  These were fun and I would recommend them.  In fact I will probably be buying some as gifts in the future.
