Thames and Kosmos Helps Dinosaurs Come to Life For xUmp.com Science Activities

Nov. 3, 2010 - PRLog -- xUmp.com recently partnered with Thames and Kosmos, a leading company specializing in science and technology-related educational kits, to provide a fascinating paleontology-themed program for their free monthly science event.

Thames and Kosmos donated a number of dinosaur dig kits for children to play with and take home with them for xUmp.com’s October science event, which took place on October 16th at xUmp’s warehouse location in Signal Hill, CA. Xump.com is one of the largest online retailers specializing in science supplies and toys, shipping to over 200,000 customers in 105 countries worldwide each year.

“This was the perfect kit to use for our group,” noted Andrea Spilsbury, Customer Service Manager of xUmp.com. “Our company wants to keep incorporating interactive, hands-on activities for the kids  into our monthly events, and we look forward to continuing to provide these kinds of opportunities to our local community”.  The event focused on paleontology.  The activity included digging up a fake dinosaur skeleton using real-life techniques and tools that a paleontologist would use.  Each participant also received an authentic dastilbe fish fossil, dated to be approximately 100 million years old.
