Let's Investigate Tactile Stones - Palaeontology/Fossil Set

This comprehensive set brings together a range of tactile resources to support hands-on exploration of fossils, dinosaurs and natural history. Designed to encourage investigation and discovery, children can dig, uncover and examine materials across sand, soil, mud or water, engaging in rich sensory and imaginative play.

The combination of stones, bones and activity cards supports a wide range of learning experiences. Children can create fossil hunts, make imprints in modelling clay, take wax rubbings and use the cards to guide matching, counting, comparing and measuring. These open-ended experiences encourage curiosity, problem solving and collaborative play, while supporting early numeracy and descriptive language. Made from a durable resin and stone mix, the components are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.
