Fossils inspire children’s imagination and excite young learners. They will delight in discovering and examining this set of eight attractive, realistic, and tactile specimens, including ammonite, clam shell, fern leaf, preserved leaves, sea urchin, shark’s tooth, shrimp, and trilobite. Made from a unique stone mix, they are robust enough to be used by young children, both in an indoor and outdoor environment. Designed to fit snugly in small inquisitive hands (80-90mm), these fossils have huge potential for discovery, storytelling, and provide a great springboard to further activities.

Go on a fossil hunt, discover them buried in your play dough, dig them up and clean them off. Record what’s been found by taking a wax rubbing and/or making a fossil imprint in the dough. They are also great for non-fiction research, the gathering of evidence, and the reaching of conclusions. The fossils can be used in further creative ways through the making of fossil gardens, displays of rubbings and clay imprints, and role play.

These fossils are an ideal addition to any dinosaur theme and work perfectly with both our Dinosaur and Paleontology Play Kits.
