Illumination Station Exploration Kit - 117 Pieces

My 4-year-old spent a solid hour digging for the dinosaur bones in the sand, and the little rakes held up way better than the flimsy ones we had before. Having over 100 pieces means there's always a fresh tool to grab when a friend comes over.

The 117 pieces kept my kids busy for two solid hours — the little dinosaur bones and animal figures are their favorite part of the sand bin. Nice that there's enough variety for both a 4-year-old and a 7-year-old to find something to dig for.

The dinosaur bone digging is what sold my 4-year-old, but honestly the 117 pieces keep both kids busy for an hour straight. The little rakes and molds feel sturdier than the flimsy set we had before.
