4M KidzLabs Creepy Crawly Digging Kit: Six Hidden Discoveries

What will you uncover first? The 4M KidzLabs Creepy Crawly Digging Kit turns a plaster block into a miniature excavation site. Children use the digging tool and brush to work their way towards six hidden creepy crawly figures, revealing each discovery a little at a time.

What's Inside

• A plaster digging block containing six realistic creepy crawly figures.
• A digging tool for excavating the block.
• A brush for clearing away loose plaster.
• Detailed instructions.

Why Kids (and Parents) Love It

• A discovery to work towards: Each hidden figure gives children another reason to keep exploring the block.
• Hands-on concentration: Digging and brushing offer practice in careful movements, patience and attention to detail.
• A starting point for nature conversations: The creepy crawly theme invites questions about the small creatures around us.
• Play beyond the dig: Once uncovered, the figures can be displayed or used in imaginative play.

Good to Know Before You Buy

• This is a plaster excavation activity, so expect dust and loose pieces. Set up on a tray or a covered work surface to make clean-up easier.
• The discoveries are model figures, not live insects.
• Take your time: carefully uncovering the figures is part of the activity, rather than something to rush through.
