Iron Age Archaeology Dig Kit – Excavate Finds, Make a Bracelet & Build a Scene (Ages 6+)
- Dig up four Iron Age-themed finds: tap and scrape through the shaped block, then brush away the loose material to reveal a helmet replica, a working rotary quernstone replica, a kit-labeled meteorite specimen, and colored beads.
- Make something after the dig: thread the beads onto the included cord, then arrange the finds with two scene cards to build a small Iron Age setting.
- Everything you need is in the box: 1 digging block, 1 tray, 1 hammer, 1 chisel, 1 brush, 1 cord, 2 scene cards, 1 timeline poster, and 1 illustrated guidebook.
- Use the guide as you go: identify each find, check how a rotary quernstone worked, and place the pieces into the finished scene.
- Ages 6+: the set contains small parts and is not suitable for anyone under 3. Keep an adult nearby during excavation.

Iron Age Archaeology Dig Kit
Dig into the shaped block, brush four Iron Age-themed finds clean, string the colored beads, and build a small scene with the cards and guide.

What your child actually does
Dig it, clean it, wear it, then build the scene.
Your child taps through the shaped block, brushes each find clean, strings the colored beads, and lays out the pieces with the scene cards, timeline, and guide.
Everything in the box
Open the box and start digging.
You get the digging tools, a work tray, bracelet pieces, two scene cards, a timeline poster, and an illustrated guidebook in one box.
1 digging block
One shaped block with the themed finds hidden inside.
1 digging tray
Use it to keep loose material and tools together while you dig.
3 digging tools
One hammer, one chisel, and one brush.
Bracelet-making pieces
One cord plus the colored beads uncovered during excavation.
2 scene cards and learning materials
Use the two scene cards, timeline poster, and illustrated guidebook to finish the scene after digging.

How to use it
Dig in four simple steps.
Place the block in the tray and work slowly. Tap lightly, brush away the dust, then move on to the bracelet and scene.
01
Set up the space
Place the shaped block in the included tray on a clear, easy-to-clean work surface.
02
Tap and scrape
Use the hammer and chisel a little at a time. Do not hit hard when a piece is close.
03
Brush it clean
Use the brush to clear loose material and see the shape more clearly.
04
Make and build
Thread the colored beads into a bracelet, then use the finds, scene cards, timeline, and guidebook to build the Iron Age story.

What is hidden inside
Four finds to dig up, clean, and use.
Brush away the loose material to reveal four kinds of pieces. Check each one against the guide before using the beads and arranging the scene.
From first tap to finished scene
Six small actions make up the activity.
Tap, scrape, brush, identify, string, and arrange. Each step leads to something you can see or make.
01
Tap lightly
Use short, light taps and scrape a little at a time.
02
Compare the finds
Match the helmet, quernstone, meteorite, and beads with the pictures and notes in the guide.
03
Slow down near each shape
Switch from tapping to brushing as soon as part of a find appears.
04
Check the guide
Look up archaeology, artifact, helmet, quernstone, and Iron Age while the pieces are on the table.
05
String the beads
Thread the uncovered beads onto the included cord after the block is cleared.
06
Build the scene
Place the pieces beside the two scene cards and use the timeline to talk through the finished setting.
How you can use the kit
One box, three easy ways to set it up.
Finish everything in one session, or split it into digging, bracelet-making, and scene-building time.
An afternoon at home
Set it out for a weekend project, a quiet afternoon, a school break, or some time together.
A gift with something to do
Choose it for a young archaeology fan who would rather dig and make something than open another display toy.
A shared dig
Let two or three players take turns tapping, brushing, checking the timeline, stringing the beads, and arranging the cards.

Keep the guide nearby
Check the guide and timeline while the finds are still on the table.
Use the illustrated guidebook to identify each find, follow the timeline poster, and decide where the pieces belong beside the two scene cards.
Ask: What did the helmet protect? How did the rotary quernstone grind grain? Where does each find belong in the scene?

Safety notes before you start
Cover the table, keep the tray flat, and use light taps around each hidden piece.
Check the 6+ age label
The age label is 6+.
Stay nearby
Stay close while your child uses the hammer and chisel, especially near a partly exposed find.
Cover the work area
The included tray helps hold loose material and makes cleanup easier.
Work slowly around each find
Tap and brush gently instead of forcing the block apart.
Keep small pieces away from anyone under 3
The beads, cord, and excavated pieces are small. Keep every piece away from anyone under 3.
