Ages 5+
Get ready to dig, discover and uncover something seriously creepy. The KidzLabs Creepy Crawly Digging Lab is a hands on science kit that lets young explorers excavate their own collection of spiders, scorpions and other fascinating creepy crawlies.
Kids can carefully chip away at the plaster block using the included digging tools, revealing detailed specimens hidden inside. Once darkness falls, there is another surprise waiting. The creepy crawlies glow in the dark, adding an extra layer of excitement to every discovery.
Once the excavation is complete, kids can examine their finds with the magnifying glass before creating their own mini specimen collection using the test tubes, specimen cards and glowing display bases.
Made by KidzLabs with a focus on quality educational play, this engaging STEM activity combines science, discovery and hands on learning in an experience curious kids can enjoy long after the digging is done.
