A HANDS-ON ACTIVITY

Every student becomes a palaeontologist

Dinosaur 1

Fossil Dig

The Fossil Dig is one of the most loved parts of the Dinosaur Diggers experience - and it's not hard to see why.

Available as a standalone component perfect for at home, birthday parties or the classroom.

Each child gets their own individual dig box, packed with nature’s treasures: a selection of fossils waiting to be uncovered. Using real excavation techniques, they brush away to reveal what’s hidden inside, and whatever they find, they get to keep!!

It’s a hands-on STEM activity suitable for children aged 5+, perfect for classroom sessions and school holiday programmes. It can be included as part of the full Educational Series resource pack, or booked as a standalone component.

What's included

  • Individual dig box for every student
  • Fossils to excavate and keep
  • Take-home bag for each child’s finds
  • Guided video demo

Why It Works

There’s something powerful about a child uncovering something real with their own hands. The Fossil Dig creates a personal moment of discovery that deepens engagement and makes the learning stick – long after the dig box is packed away.
