Discovery™ Dinosaur Fossil Dig Kit – Excavate & Assemble T-Rex & Velociraptor Skeletons| 3D Dino Bones Puzzles| Jurassic Paleontology Toy for Kids| STEM Science Activity Set| Girls & Boys Gift Ages 6+

Kids had a blast. Parents gave me the side eye. It was a gift. Made a little mess, but the educational value and fun was unmatched!

My kids have had several variations of these fossil kits and this is by far the best quality one I've seen. Bought this for my 5 year old daughter and she loved both the excavation and now the dinosaur toy she "discovered". Pros: - Comes with 2 blocks for twice the fun. -Includes safety goggles which can adjust to a small head as well as a wooden mallet and chisel. -Dinosaur 'bones' are plastic but thick enough to not get damaged in the excavation process and hearty enough to be snapped together and played with afterwards. T-Rex is probably 10-12" long after being assembled. -Chalk is tough enough to make it a challenge, took my 5 year old old approx. 2 hours to get everything dug out and she was into it the entire time. Cons: -The pieces snapped together well and held up but a few of the joints pop out once in a while, this is very minor and happens with any of these type of kits, a little super glue fixes the problem. -Can be messy, you're letting a child smash chalk with a hammer and chisel so of course it's going to make somewhat of a mess. I put down a drop cloth and let them go at it, once finished I fold it up and shake outside. From my understanding it's just chalk so easy to clean up. Note: the directions do recommend wetting it beforehand but that sounded like even more of mess so we just did it dry and then dip the bones in water. Chunks do fly off hence the safety goggles but didn't find it to be too dusty or anything.

Very fun & exciting for 5 yo nephew. A bit challenging for me to put the skeleton together… no diagram & took lots of strength to snap together. I definitely recommend this STEM product.

My son really enjoyed this as a birthday gift! It makes a bit of a mess, so I’d suggest doing it outside or in some sort of a tub. A little tricky to put together, as if you don’t push hard enough the skeletons will break. But my son thought it was fun, kept him entertained for hours and he liked learning more about fossils!

Keeps the youngsters happily motivated in removing bones and then assembling them. Great Gift. Good Price, Fast Shipping. A+++++

Nice idea, clay around the pieces was to hard and difficult to break away with the toolsvprovided.

My six-year-old grandson had great fun hammering away at the block of plaster to release the dinosaur pieces. Fair warning, it is unbelievably messy.‼️. I gave it a three star review because there are no directions for assembly and the pegs are too large to go into the holes of the opposing piece. Very very frustrating. I do not recommend.

My 7 year old grandson loves it.
