Johnco Explore Australia Dig Kit

Dig into an Aussie adventure with the Johnco Explore Australia Dig Kit, ages 6+

What will you uncover beneath the surface? With an Australia-shaped excavation block and digging tools in hand, kids can chip away to discover replicas of iconic Australian animals and other artefacts. Match the discoveries with the included fact cards and colourful poster, then turn the crocodile replica into a keychain to keep.
