NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC Fool’s Gold Dig Kit – 12 Gold Bar Dig Bricks with 2-3 Pyrite Specimens Inside, Party Activity with 12 Excavation Tool Sets, Great Stem Toy for Boys & Girls or Party Favors

Ich muss sagen, das Set wurde spitze fotografisch in Szene gesetzt. Obwohl man genug Größenvergleiche anstellen kann, kommt einem das auf den Bildern größer vor. Beim Auspacken war ich wahnsinnig enttäuscht. Selbst die Gipsfigur, in welchem die Insekten "ausgegraben" werden , wirkt geradezu winzig. Darüber hinaus sind die Insekten in billiges Plastik eingegossen, aus diesem Grund hat Junior eine Figur total zerkratzt. Nichts destotrotz 5 Sterne. Denn zum Preis von ca. 12 Euro incl. versand darf ich auch keinen 20 cm Skorpion erwarten, wie das einige Negativrezensenten wohl tun, und darüber hinaus ist unser Sohn glücklich und hatte viel Spaß. Die Insekten will er sogar zum nächsten Kindergartenspielzeugtag mit in die Kita nehmen.

Got these for my treasure box. It’s part of a treasure hunt I’ll be doing for my son’s class. Super fun and a lot for the money!

My niece loved this kit, the tools take some time to get into the specimens so it's good if you want it to take longer or you can help to get them faster. The specimens are pretty neat to look at and perfect for little hands to carry around. We did it outside so the mess wasn't an issue, but we did have to clean dust off ourselves. She loved the goggles and kept them for dress up when she wants to be a "worker-man".

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!

Birthday present for Niece. She loves these excavation kits. Arrived quickly through amazon prime. As described.
