One of the many gifts this year from Christmas and W's birthday was a gold mining kit. It comes with all the necessary tools and your little one gets to chisel away (with a plastic chisel) for hours. No, really hours. W was at the kitchen table for over two hours. He did the first half hour to 45 minutes or so completely on his own before asking for help. After all his hard work, he was covered in dust and had found 3 pieces of gold and that was only the first half of the kit. We saved the other half of the block for another day. This was a really great way to expand W's hobby. It was great to watch him work towards a goal and he was so proud of himself when he successfully dug out the gold nuggets.
Check out
this kit or the
Edu-Science brand. They have a dinosaur fossil dig, gem mining (up next... who's shocked?), Junior Chef, and more with a focus on educational and experimental toys. Refine your child's hand eye coordination and fine motor skills with something that will keep them busy for hours.
