National Geographic Dinosaur Dig Kit - Fascinating Excavation Kits for Kids with Replica T-Rex Tooth and Genuine Dino Poop Fossil | STEM Educational Science Kits Gifts for 8+ Year Old Boys and Girls

Don’t normally write in depth reviews of things but was a bit hesitant buying this not being sure what to expect but my bought for my boys 6th birthday and he loves both sharks and fossils, rocks, gems etc so this seemed like a perfect combination. The tools were easy for him to use to dig in, we had to add a bit of water occasionally to help break the block up easier but even for his small hands he was managing to dig through ok. I would say smaller children need a bit more help to get through the painted surface of the brick but once they grasp scraping at the surface of the brick it is pretty easy to dig through. It took us about 20 minutes to get to the teeth in the middle and they were all bunched together which was a shame but really that nitpicking, even once found them it took a bit of time dig round them and brush them off to free them safely. We used a little medicine syringe to apply water where needed and found that worked brilliantly to help keep the mess down too. The specimens revealed are brilliant quality little teeth, with a nice bit of info about them in the book with the set. My lad is absolutely amazed by them and has had to ring all the grandparents to tell them about it, he’s learned the names of the sharks and all about each one as it’s really captured his enthusiasm and excitement for fossils. I can’t recommend it enough if your child is interested in this sort of thing, the immersive action of actively digging and excavating the specimens themselves seemed to make him far more in love with them than just ones he’s bought in gift shops etc too. Only advice I would offer is prepare to take your time digging as they look very easy to accidentally break one or even miss them altogether and use a small amount of water when needed. The brick is like a fine clay and the water cleans the teeth off quickly and nicely too, as mentioned I used a little calpol syringe and that was perfect not to get it everywhere of make a mess of it. I will be picking up more of these sets for him from national geographic for definite as he has thoroughly loved this one and I loved the father son time seeing him so excited! Best smiles for pound present I have ever got him!

This Shark Tooth Dig Kit is absolutely fantastic! My kids were completely captivated as they carefully excavated genuine shark teeth from the block. The kit includes fossils from 3 different shark species, and the entire experience felt like a mini archaeological dig! The included tools are perfect for little hands, and the educational booklet offers great info about each species of shark. It’s a hands-on, engaging, and educational activity that kept them entertained for hours while learning about science and marine life. A perfect gift for curious kids who love sharks or want to dive into the world of fossils. Highly recommend for STEM learning at home!

Bought this for my son. The fact that it came from National Geographic gave me a little more confidence. It didn’t disappoint. The gems are all actually really good quality. He really enjoyed the information booklet which accompanied the stones. Well worth the money.

Bought as a present for my daughters 7th birthday - her and her 9year old sister thoroughly enjoyed digging for the gem stones and then looking them up and learning about them in the book included. yes this kit isnt cheap, but compared to other kits, it offers better value for money. My daughter absolutely loves her gemstones, and regularly looks at them and reads the fact book.

Not sure why it asks for ‘thickness!’ However this was a gift for my 8 yo daughter. She loves gemstones and is interested in craft activities. She enjoyed the process and was excited when she found the gems. The gems are different in size but approx the size of a 50p. It’s not a cheap gift but it is a novelty and something interesting and educational.

Why would you have a box this size and just have everything loose? If you're going to make the customer think it's bigger than it is, at least make it neat. And it's shrink wrapped, which is common yes, but annoying and difficult to remove.

My son loves collecting stones anywhere he goes and has a collection of mostly gravel. This set was the perfect gift for him as he felt like he found a treasure by finding the stones using the tools provided in the kit. There were 3 different types of stones good size ones. Price, delivery and quality was perfect if your child is into finding treasures / collecting stones this is the perfect gift

I purchased this as a present for 7 year old son. My son, who cannot normally sit down for more than a minute at a time, spent 4 hours sat digging for gems, he compared them with the information book to identify each one and spent time explaining all about the gems to anyone who would listen!! He loved this kit so much that he has spent some of his Christmas money on the fossil dig kit which he is also thoroughly enjoying. The gems themselves are on display in his bedroom.

Very interesting gift for kids

I like rocks and minerals and gemstones and find them very interesting. One reason I like this type of thing is because there are no 2 just alike. While the clarity of one may be clear and well defined another may be cloudy looking. I had 3 gems in my kit and was extremely pleased with 2 of them as they were a nice size one that you could grasp really well to examine, feel and just generally experience in a unique manner. The third gem in my kit was not as magnificient as the other 2 and smaller. Even though I didn't get 3 gems around the same size I am still very pleased with the kit and could tell what gems I found. Thr information booklet that came with my kit was very informative and will help one understand all the different gems and minerals that are around this booklet is very much a plus, to anyone looking to find out about rocks, minerals, and gems.
