     Excavation kits seem to be very popular right now, and this series ranks at the top of the list for me. These are high quality dig kits and most sets either contain multiple small dig activities, or one large dig activity. These would be great for a small group activity or a party. Have some BIG excavation fun with the Dig It Up! kits. ~ Donna
