Let's Investigate - Fossils - 8 Piece Set

Ready to dig up the past? The Let's Investigate Fossils set is the perfect place to start. Fossils fire up children's imaginations and excite young explorers.

This set has eight realistic, tactile fossils to discover and examine. Find an ammonite, a shark's tooth, a sea urchin and more. Made from a sturdy stone mix, they suit play indoors and out.

Bury them in the sand tray, then dig and brush them clean. Record each find with a wax rubbing or a clay print. Children gather clues, ask questions and think like real scientists.

Build a fossil garden, display the rubbings or add them to role-play. Pair them with a wider small-world range for more discovery. A brilliant addition to any dinosaur theme, sand tray or small-world setting.
