Review: Nice gift to nephew - It was a great gift to my nephew. He loved it.
Review: Excellent Digging Bug Fun! - This was a favorite of my almost 5 year old son. He loves insects or all kinds and arachnids. We were not sure what to expect so important stuff to know: * There is a scorpion painted on the dirt/sand piece you get, this is not an actual scorpion. * If your kids are a little more eager to dig faster they will not destroy a specimen. * I put the block we were digging on a small cookie sheet (jelly roll pan - it has about 1 inch lip around it). This was perfect for containing our mess. * The specimens are real and are enclosed in a clear acrylic like a small rock. Each bug is in its own clear rock. * Specimens are small but you get a magnifying glass with this as well as the digging tool and brush. * Specimens are excellent quality, the size of them is great because my son can easily put these in his pocket and take with him to show his friends when we are out. He is ready to dig another one and I am going to see if I can find one with different specimens for variety but truthfully he would be just as happy with the exact same ones. He loved this! I did too!
