Real talk

Once they open it, they're off the tablet for days

This isn't a single dig kit. It's three: gemstones, T-Rex fossils, and Triceratops remains, all in one bundle. Your child chips, brushes, and uncovers real treasures, then assembles two working dinosaur skeletons from genuine fossil replicas. That's the kind of project that holds attention.

Buy it once and it genuinely stays in the cupboard for the next child, the cousins, the nephew. Solid wood tools, no plastic chipping away after week two.

While they play

What children actually build while digging

Looks like play. Works like a lesson.

🔍

Precision & focus

Chiselling requires patience and steady hands. Children learn to slow down, concentrate, and notice small details.

🧬

Natural world knowledge

Real gemstones, real fossil names, real dinosaur skeletons. This teaches science through touch, not screens.

💪

Hand strength

Gripping the chisel and brush builds finger and wrist strength naturally, without feeling like work.

🎯

Problem-solving

Finding the angle to chip each piece, understanding how bones fit together, assembling a skeleton from parts.

Questions & answers

Asked by gift-buyers every day

Which age is this really for?

Ages 3 and up can start with supervision and very gentle chiselling. Ages 5-7 dig independently and finish a kit in one or two sittings. Ages 8+ work through all three kits over a week or two. If you're buying for a 6th birthday, this is the one.

Is it actually worth more than the plastic version?

The plastic kit breaks after a season. This one plays for 5 years, gets passed to the next child, and sits in a cupboard for 10 years waiting for grandchildren. Work out the cost per year. Also: solid wood feels different in your hands. The weight, the finish, the way the tools hold an edge. That's why parents say 'worth every penny full price'.

When does it arrive? I'm buying for a birthday.

Order by 2pm and it ships the same working day. Standard delivery is 2-3 business days. Gift-wrap is an option at checkout and arrives in our signature Jaques packaging, ready to hand over. Arrived next day for several families last Christmas.

What if my child doesn't like digging?

30-day returns. Open it, let them play, and if it's not for them, send it back for your full money back. No catch. But heads up: the 'not sure about quality' worry disappears after the first dig. These are not the usual tat. Real gemstones, real fossils, real tools.

How much does it cost?

The Kids Dinosaur & Gem Dig Kit is £24.99 today (down from £48.97). Klarna is available at checkout if you prefer to spread the cost.

What's your returns policy?

30 days, full refund, no conditions. Return it for any reason and we refund in full. We've been standing behind what we make since 1795.

Our story

Making toys worth keeping since 1795.

Jaques of London was founded in 1795. We invented croquet, table tennis, and the Staunton chess set. For 230 years, we've been making things that pull children away from passive entertainment and into active, curious, hands-on play.

Jaques has made dig kits and discovery sets for 231 years because we believe children learn best by doing, not watching screens. This bundle brings three separate scientific adventures together in one box. Real gemstones, real fossil replicas, real dinosaur anatomy. When a child chips open a block and finds an actual amethyst, or assembles a skeleton with a moving jaw, that's not entertainment. That's learning they'll remember. We've designed these kits to survive the inevitable dropped chisel, the rough dig, the enthusiastic 7-year-old. Solid wood, proper tools, a 60-day guarantee. Buy it once, watch it last.

Toys and games that leave something behind: a skill, a memory, a piece of play that gets passed on.
Joe, Jaques of London
