Publisher's Description of I Dig It! Pirate Treasure Excavation Kit
Excavate your own glow-in-the-dark Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton model. This dangerous prehistoric giant comes to life when you excavate its bones with a hammer and chisel and assemble them into a skeleton. The skeleton lets you reenact prehistoric adventures or surprise your friends with its glowing effect when the lights are off. The kit includes 13 skeleton pieces buried in a plaster block, excavation tools, and a descriptive manual.
Category Description for I Dig It! Excavation Kits

Ah, the classic dig kit. Inspired by the work of paleontologists, dig kits have been a tried-and-true rainy day activity for hundreds - or at least dozens - of years. This line of kits has a variety of buried finds, from dinosaur babies to minerals. What sets these kits apart from some other lines are the plaster dig blocks (much nicer feeling than blocks made of loose pebbles that fly everywhere), a booklet with information about the uncovered discoveries and step-by-step instructions for how to excavate and clean your finds without frustration, and, my favorite, high-quality dig tools with some weight to them! - Janine
