Learning Resources Rock 'n' Gem Surprise, Toy Geodes for Kids, Ages 3+

Well made and a great concept , slightly expensive but I know this toy will last

Lovely design to them, with the colourful gems in the rocks. Great for learning colours and shapes. Can play a few different sorting games with them. Easy to tap open, very fun.

My boys love these. Really good quality, some small gems which I need to keep away from baby sister but otherwise they keep coming back to these. Very much enjoy smashing them and seeing what colour gem is inside or which shape they will get.

Fantastic toy bought for my two year old. She quickly got the hang of it but keeps her entertained for ages. Lots of different games to pkay with it aswell.

Beloved but for the price I feel the “gems” could be better quality. I will probably be swapping them out for something sturdier or prettier.

The best thing I bought my 2.5 year old daughter for Christmas! She is still obsessed with these gems

I purchased these for my four year old as a Christmas present and they’ve been a huge hit. They’re larger than I expected which is great as I think they would be harder to crack open if they were small. My two year old has discovered that if you throw them on the floor hard enough, they do pop open (I am trying to discourage this, but toddlers are so strong-willed). My four year old loves the fact that you get the coloured gems inside. Educationally speaking, it’s great for fine motor and colour matching.

Great product. Played with daily. My child has learnt colours and counting with this. The surprise element of getting a gem is something my child really enjoys. Recommend this to everyone.

Die Kinder (2 & 4 Jahre) lieben es, spielen lange und viel damit und üben gleichzeitig Farbzuordnung, Feinmotorik und Handlungsplanung; die Edelsteine sind groß genug, dass sie zwar in den Mund passen aber nicht verschluckt werden können; die Steine lassen sich auf vom Kleinen mit Hammer und Meißel leicht öffnen, Zusammenbauen klappt noch nicht ganz allein, hier hilft aber gern der Große; fährt bei uns sogar mit in den Urlaub, klare Kaufempfehlung; Versand und Lieferung schnell und problemlos;

This toy is exceptional! I was very keen for it for my grand daughter and it did not disappoint. She was very excited and was able to play with it with ease. The "jewels" are lovely. My grad daughter played with it for 20 solid minutes and was looking to play with it each day during the toy rotation. A great buy!!

Questo set della Learning Resources è veramente ben ideato. In pratica sono 8 “pietre” tonde con all’interno ciascuna una pietra preziosa da aprire con martello e scalpello. Devo dire che è veramente originale e diverso dal solito, tanto che mia figlia ci gioca tantissimo. Io nascondo per la casa le pietre e lei fa finta di essere un archeologa e le va a cercare. Una volta trovate si diverte un sacco ad aprile una per una per scoprire quali pietra preziose sono racchiuse all’interno. Insieme nel set è compresa anche una comoda borsetta di tela in modo da poter riporre all’interno tutti i pezzi del set e non perdere niente. Nel complesso lo trovo ben realizzato ed il prezzo attuale, di circa 28 euro, mi sembra ber rapportato alla qualità stessa del set. Io personalmente lo consiglio, soprattutto per la sua originalità.

The Learning Resources Rock 'n Gem Surprise Activity Set is a fantastic learning tool for young children. It’s engaging, colorful, and provides a hands-on way for kids to develop sorting, matching, and counting skills. My 2.5-year-old daughter loves it, and I can see how it helps her build important cognitive abilities while having fun. Pros: Bright and Engaging Design: The vibrant colors and shiny "gem" pieces immediately capture a child’s attention. The different shapes and sizes of the gems make sorting and matching activities exciting and visually stimulating. Educational and Developmental: This set is great for teaching early math skills like counting, sorting, and comparing. It also introduces patterns and sequencing in a fun and interactive way. Durable and Safe Materials: The pieces are made from sturdy, high-quality plastic that feels durable and safe for little hands. There are no sharp edges, and the gems are large enough to prevent choking hazards. Versatile Learning Opportunities: In addition to sorting and counting, we’ve used this set for imaginative play. My daughter loves pretending she’s a treasure hunter or jeweler, which adds an extra layer of creative fun. Compact and Easy to Store: With just 19 pieces, the set is easy to store and doesn’t take up much space. It’s also lightweight, making it perfect for travel or playdates. Cons: Limited Number of Pieces: While the 19 pieces are sufficient for basic activities, adding a few more gems or additional shapes would increase the variety and extend playtime. Slightly Simple for Older Kids: For children closer to the upper age range (5+), the activities might feel too basic. However, you can introduce more advanced concepts like simple addition or subtraction to keep it challenging. This activity set has quickly become a favorite in our home. My daughter enjoys sorting the gems by color and shape, and I’ve noticed her improving her counting skills. We also play matching games, which keep her entertained and focused. It’s a great toy for independent play as well as parent-child interaction.

My kids love this set so much! They enjoy using the hammer and pick to open the gems. They find it so fun to find the gems or the ‘treasures’ as they call it and matching them back to rocks and closing them up. These are pretty strong as my children really beat on them with the hammer lol! A win for moms.
