⚠️Beware of copies
Cheap kits that look the same are going around online. Inside you find a few loose pieces, the bones don't fit and the tools bend at the first tap. Our PaleoKit™ has the complete skeleton, real tools and safety goggles.
My son is six and says he'll be a paleontologist when he grows up. He dug all afternoon with his goggles on, then built the T-Rex by himself and now it sits on his nightstand. He didn't ask for the tablet once.
He knows every dinosaur name. But he has only seen them on a screen.
You know the scene. After school he sits on the sofa, grabs the tablet and watches yet another dinosaur video. He explains the difference between a T-Rex and an Allosaurus, but the only dinosaur he has ever touched is plastic, ready-made, and two days later it was in the toy basket.
With PaleoKit™ the dinosaur isn't ready-made. It's hidden inside a rock, and he finds it himself, with his own hands, like a real paleontologist.
How the dig works
No app, no batteries, no screen.
-
Step 1
Goggles on
Put on the safety goggles and wet the plaster with a little water.
-
Step 2
Dig
He chips the plaster away with hammer and chisel and cleans every bone with the brush.
-
Step 3
Build
Click the bones together and the dinosaur rises on its stand.
-
Result
His first fossil
A skeleton found with his own hands, on display in his room.
Why a plastic dinosaur gets boring and this one doesn't
A finished toy has said everything the moment it leaves the box. Here, every hammer tap is a question: what's under here? First a tooth appears, then a rib, then the skull.
Chisel to chip off the plaster, brush to clean the bones, goggles to protect the eyes: the same moves as real digs. At the end he builds the skeleton on its stand and displays it in his room.
Everything in the box. Just open it.
Inside you'll find the plaster block with the hidden skeleton (about 16.5 x 12 cm), the hammer, the chisel, the brush and the safety goggles. Choose the Tyrannosaurus Rex or the Stegosaurus.
The moms' tip: wet the plaster with a little water before you start, so it digs easier and no dust flies. Done? Wet the plaster, put the bones back, let it dry for 12 hours and the dig starts all over again.

The Christmas gift that's still remembered in January
Many gifts end up in a drawer after Boxing Day. This one becomes a story: the afternoon he found his first dinosaur, and the skeleton that proves it, on his nightstand.
Two brothers? Get two, a T-Rex and a Stegosaurus, and the dig turns into a race. Christmas stock is limited.
What parents say about PaleoKit™
Parents say their kids dig for hours without asking for the tablet and feel like real paleontologists when the skull appears. Many recommend wetting the plaster before starting. Several ordered a second one for a brother or a cousin, and a few wished there were more models.
Since he was four he's been saying he'll dig up dinosaurs when he grows up. The look on his face when the skull appeared, I'll never forget it.
One T-Rex and one Stegosaurus. They raced to see who found more bones and then put the skeletons side by side on the shelf.
Gave it to my nephew for his birthday. Out of all his gifts, it was the one he played with first and for longest.
We followed the tip and wet the plaster before starting: no dust and it digs really well. My daughter was thrilled.
The best part was building the skeleton at the end. Now the T-Rex sits on his nightstand and he shows it to everyone who comes into his room.
Finally a gift that keeps them busy with their hands. Two real hours of digging, goggles on like little archaeologists.
The youngest needed a hand with the hammer at first, then he went on alone. In the end he was thrilled with his Stegosaurus.
I got it for my grandson and in the end we dug together. I had as much fun as he did, I didn't expect that.
The next day he wanted to take the skeleton to school to show his teacher. He feels like a real scientist.
We put it under the tree last year and it was the gift of the day. This year I'm getting two for the cousins.
The hammer, chisel and brush work really well. My son felt like a real paleontologist.
I didn't know what to give a kid who already has every plastic dinosaur. This one was different: he found it himself.
We wet the plaster, put the bones back and let it dry. The next day he dug again. Genius.
There's a little plaster dust, but with a newspaper underneath you clean up in a minute. The kid was thrilled.
Every bone he found, he ran to show me. At the end he built the dinosaur and even gave it a name.
My daughter loves dinosaurs and this kit won her over. She picked the Stegosaurus for the plates on its back.
Bought for my five-year-old grandson. We dug together on Sunday after lunch, a lovely afternoon.
With two brothers you have to get two. They sat facing each other and dug in silence for an hour.
While digging he asked me how dinosaurs lived. Then we read a book together. Great buy.
Arrived well packed, everything as in the photos. The boy opened it right away and never put it down.
The scene of the skull appearing from the plaster is worth it all. The building needs a bit of help for the little ones, but it's worth it.
My eight-year-old was always on the phone. With this kit he spent Saturday afternoon digging and building.
We gave it to a friend for his birthday: at the party everyone wanted to dig. His mom asked me where I got it.
The T-Rex skull with all its teeth is gorgeous. Now it's on display on the bookshelf next to his dinosaur books.
One for my son and two for the cousins. All three delighted, and at Christmas we did the dig all together.
He put on the goggles, picked up the hammer and said 'now I'm starting the dig'. What a sight.
Two kids, a rainy afternoon and two kits. Never seen them so focused.
My boy liked it, I wish there were more models to choose from. Still, the dig kept him very entertained.
My son is nine and I thought he'd be too old, but he dug it all out by himself with incredible precision.
When he saw the first rib appear he said 'mom, it's real!'. A joy to see him like that.
Grandpa gave it to his grandson and they dug together in the garden. Now it's their favorite memory.
The plates on the back and the tail with the spikes are really well made. My son loves it.
My six-year-old asked Santa for it and it was her favorite surprise.
The boy had a lot of fun. The youngest needs an adult nearby, but that's normal with a hammer.
Perfect for kids who love dinosaurs. Digging, discovering and building: three games in one.
The finished skeleton stands up on its own on its stand. It has become the showpiece of his room.
He has loads of plastic dinosaurs, but this is the only one he found himself. He treats it like treasure.
I loved seeing my son so focused and patient. Usually he gets tired after five minutes.
After the first one I ordered a second with the other dinosaur, because he wanted the full collection.
Easy to give, always a hit. I'll keep a spare for his friends' birthdays.
An afternoon with no tantrums and no tablet. That alone is worth it.
The dig is the most fun part. We built it together and in the end the T-Rex was perfect.
He made up a whole story: the desert, the expedition, the discovery. A gift that gets the imagination working.
We opened it on Christmas morning and by eleven he was already at the kitchen table digging.
Everything as described, the boy is happy. I recommend it to all moms of little dinosaur fans.
After seeing ours, the cousins asked for the same gift. I'm ordering two more.
He put the skeleton on the shelf with a little sign: 'discovered by me'. It made me tear up.

It depends on age: usually a whole afternoon between digging, cleaning the bones and building. Many kids go back to it the next day.
Yes. Wet the plaster, put the bones back inside, shape it and let it dry for about 12 hours. Then the dig starts again from scratch.
