CSI Face kit

Some kids like to build Legos, others like to blow stuff up. But there must be a section of kids out there that likes to solve cold case murders judging by the CSI Facial Reconstruction Kit. Based on the long running, #1 rated CBS drama CSI (or CSI Miami, or CSI New York, or CSI [insert city name here], this kit allows kids to learn a mix of science, puzzle, art, and fantasy, as they work painstakingly to recreate the face of a victim from the skull left behind.

The plastic skull is secured on a sturdy platform for easy reconstruction, and comes with two pounds of modeling clay and four plastic sculpting tools. In addition, there are removable, plastic brown eyes, a nose, as well as ears and lips and set of molded pegs to give the skin depth. The object of the kit is to build up the victim’s face, layer by layer and feature by feature, until the victim’s face is revealed. And the kit also comes with a step by step guide which not only teaches the art of facial reconstruction, but gives tips on everything from creating hair and eyebrows to teaching how facial reconstruction helps to solve criminal cases. Cost is about $160 from Amazon.
