Fossil hunting
- A 10x hand lens (affiliate link)For looking closely at fossils, pebbles and museum specimens.
- Fossil dig kits (affiliate link)Plaster blocks with a replica fossil to dig out at home. Messy, in a good way.
Books

- Dinosaur encyclopedias (affiliate link)For the bigger picture: every group, every period.
At home
- Stegosaurus skeleton model kits (affiliate link)Build your own, then check it: plates alternating, four tail spikes, no shoulder spikes.
