DIY FOSSILIZED INSECT KIT - Get ready to create, learn, and preserve history—one fossil at a time! Preserve Ancient Life in Resin! Unlock your child’s inner scientist with the MODBOX DIY Fossilized Insect Casting Kit—the ideal gift for young explorers who love hands-on STEM experiments! Imagine the thrill of preserving a prehistoric moment, just like real scientists do, by encasing ancient insects in crystal-clear, amber-colored resin. Whether they’re fascinated by fossils, paleontology, or just love creating, this kit makes science exciting, tangible, and fun. It comes with everything needed to cast two realistic mosquito replicas or use real, naturally desiccated insects for an authentic fossilization experience. The kit includes A/B resin, a reusable silicone mold, amber-effect resin coloring, mixing tools, and gloves—no extra supplies required! Plus, our step-by-step video guide ensures every project turns out beautifully. At MODBOX, we believe kids learn best when they’re having fun—because we were once the kids who built forts out of cardboard boxes and took apart toys just to see how they worked (looking at you, Toy Story). That’s why our DIY project kits are the most exciting, hands-on experiences available today—built for kids who think like makers, tinkerers, and future engineers. No other company is doing DIY like MODBOX. We bring science and engineering to life with creative, engaging kits that go beyond the classroom and into real-world learning. So, whether you’re shopping for a budding paleontologist, an aspiring scientist, or a hands-on learner, this fossil casting kit is the perfect way to spark their imagination and keep them building, experimenting, and discovering.
