A fun time for all!
I gave this product to my daughter, who had an amazing time with it! It was really fun for both of us to spend the time together "digging up fossils"! I recommend this for all parents!

Fun for the kids
My kids saw the box and thought it was cool from the picture. Took the items out and placed multiple boxes to not have a big mess. They were having issues using some of the tools to use on extracting some of the artifacts. They saw me and tried to mimic, but unable to follow. This wouldn't work for you if your kids don't like being outside and discovering hidden gems in...

Best fossils ever
The fossil excavation kit was the best toy for my son after seeing Jurassic park the amazement of seeing and holding and excavating REAL fossils with your own hands couldn't be beat to give that experience to continue his educational curiosity.

Honestly expected more.
I honestly expected more. I was let down when I opened the box, the fossil is like a piece of sidewalk chalk and it's got the designs etched into the top with small plastic like Dino skeleton pieces inside. It is very small, fits in the palm of my hand and appears cheaply made overall. The tools it came with much better quality than seen in most toys and educational pro...

Super for STEM learning
This was by far one of the neatest things we've gotten to try over the years. It really gives them the feel of being an archeologicalist on a dig site clearing away useless dirt to find the treasures underneath. I would recommend this be done outside if any means possible because for obvious reasons it's a very messy toy. It also has the drawbacks of a short "playtime" ...

Absolutely loved this!!
At first I thought this was going to be cheesy, but I have to say, I am very I'm impressed with this kit!! Not only are the tools high quality and easy to learn to use, but the fact that this had real fossils in it blew my mind!! It took about 2 hours to get all of the fossils out, we made sure to take our time because fossils can be fragile, but when you get have 8 to ...

We dig this kit.
My family enjoyed digging out the really oldfossils.. It was hard work but everyone got a hand in on the digging... My 9 year old shared some of her finds with her friends... It came with an awesome information pamphlet to explain all your finds.. Neat tools to dig out the fossils one at a time.

Great for kids!
Gave this to my 10 year old niece and she loved it! She is very curious about all things science related and found the digging for fossils to be a fun task! She wanted to start digging up the yard next.

Fun Activity
This one is awesome fossil kit. This set was so much fun for my little one. Finding the hidden treasures was very exiting for kids. It has great collection of fossils. This gift set is perfect for distracting the kids from screen. Kids absolutely loved it. I would recommend this.

I'm a grown woman and I loooved this!
This kit was such a blast!! I think I enjoyed it more than my nephew did! It comes with eight real fossils to excavate! The only thing I didn't like was that the plaster is so hard that I broke the first two trying to get them which was super disappointing. This activity is messy so I recommend you do it outdoors. It even comes with an activity booklet that shows, names...

Fun, educational activity for kids
This was such a fun activity for my 10 year old son & I to do together! He was so excited every time he uncovered a new fossil. If you have a younger kiddo, I'd for sure recommend getting the fossil brick wet before using it. We started with it dry, then soaked it in water half way through the process & it made it much easier to get those fragile fossils out from the cl...

Great activity at a great price!!!
I work in Special Education and when I received this gift I just knew I had to bring it to work!!! What a fun way to teach the kids about fossils since we were learning about dinosaurs, it was perfect!! Kids absolutely loved it. I ended up buying another one so they all got to keep a fossil to take home and share with their families!!

Fun and Educational
The kids loved this so much. It was a little flimsy as some of the fossils broke; however, I was expecting that because fossils are fragile. They really enjoyed this whole experience, minus the clean-up.

Fun hands on way to introduce and learn about fossils
My 6 year old loved this fossil excavation kit! She had so much fun using the different tools to find 8 different fossils. This was a great way to introduce and teach her to fossils and I love that she was able to learn in a hands on way especially since she is doing virtual kindergarten this year. I did have to help her a few times to dig out a fossil after she located...
