Nature GearGemstone Dig Kit for Kids, Educational Crystal Excavation Kit with 15 Mystery Gems, Interactive Adventure Fossil Mining Toy for Kids Age 3-5 and Up

Purchased as a Christmas gift for my great grandson. He loved it.

My 3.5 year old absolutely loved this! She was so amazed every time she found something new. It kept her interest for an hour! Such a great kit for all ages

My 6 year old son has been watching minecraft videos- so he starts telling my wife and I that he wants to mine gems...digging up the driveway...so birthday rolls around and she decides to get him this gem set.Pros - gems are nicely polished stones of a variety. tiger eye, onyx, quartz, turquoise...The cons...it comes entombed in some kind of plaster with quality of concrete, and the tools to free these stones a 6 year old can't use a wooden mallet, wood spike, brush to smash this dusty mess up so guess who got asked to free his gems...dad. I had to smash that concrete and then clean up that mess.Was it cool? Sure. Was he happy? Yep. So it's all good. It's not the worst toy a kid can get, but it seems that it could be easier for a kid to break open -as I was smashing it with that little kids sized wooden mallet...to free those kids gems.If your kid likes minecraft they will probably like this, but you're still going to be stuck cleaning up the mess. :D enjoy the destruction! Claim those gems....and make your kid laugh. GL

It was fairly messy The difficulty level was actually pretty awesome I absolutely loved the Dino stickers They are a hard plastic kind of like the stars that you get to put on your walls and ceilings and then the glow in the dark fossils were pretty cool too all in all it was a good value for the money

I like that there is glow in the dark things! The tools are better than other kits i have used.

Great job

This was such a fun activity for my six year old. She’s doing Collections for mini 4H and we added these to her gem collection. Not only did she enjoy finding all the new gems, she learned so much about them. Thank you!

The kids really enjoyed excavating the dinosaurs. It comes with a dozen eggs and a dozen sets of tools so I could see this being a good thing for dino themed birthday parties or just getting them out one or two eggs at a time for an activity.My kids are 5 and 7 and my youngest took it very slow and methodically chipping away and brushing away while my oldest was more excitedly chipping away and examining what dinosaur he got. They include a sheet to see what dinosaur you got, it's name, what it eats and some details about it.Tips:1. If you run them under warm water for a couple seconds before starting, it keeps some of the dust down.2. Using a plastic container, you can keep some of the dust contained. I told my kids that was their work site and gave them their tools and let them go at it. It doesn't get that messy and whatever dust gets out can be cleaned up with a paper towel and warm water.
