  • A great value for a great kit!!
Style: Mega Fossil Dig Kit
My dinosaur-loving nephew and I had an AMAZING time raising my sister's blood pressure after I let him go digging for fossils on her kitchen floor! Seriously though, he loved it. I loved it. This is a great tactile and educational gift for kids into geology and prehistoric creatures... or even kids who just yearn to dig. However, there are a couple of things to keep in mind: The dirt brick the fossils come packed is in kind of firm, so you'll want to soften it up with a bit of water. Oh, and lay out some kind of mess-proof barrier like a trash bag or a tarp if you're doing this inside (or just do it outside), and have wipes or towels handy because it will get messy. Also, temper your expectations. The fossils are genuine, don't expect perfectly intact specimens. One of our fossils came in pieces, which is fine. The average fossil is about the size of a walnut, perfect for a young scholar's collection but not so much for the smaller kiddos that like to put anything and everything in their mouths. Not only are the fossils real, but they're pretty. Yes, even the little poop. Seriously, I would have died to have this toy as a child. If they make one with all geodes, I WILL be buying one just for myself. I don't care if I'm in my thirties. ... show more

  • A Digging Good Time: National Geographic Mega Fossil Dig Kit
Style: Mega Fossil Dig Kit
The National Geographic Mega Fossil Dig Kit was a huge hit with my niece! She had a blast unearthing all the hidden fossils, and the kit kept her engaged for hours. The included tools are easy to use, and the instructions were simple to follow, making it fun and educational at the same time. She loved discovering all the different fossils and learning about them. It’s a perfect gift for young explorers or anyone curious about prehistoric life. Highly recommend—it's an awesome way to spark interest in science and history! ... show more

  • Real fossils!
Style: Mega Fossil Dig Kit
Gonna be honest, bought this for my self. :D caught it on a deal for $17ish and well, I have no impulse control, and love fossils. So here the deal. This would make a great gift, and I'm sure kids would love it. I did and am thinking about getting another one. Pro: came with 15 actual fossils. Con: the bone looks like a regular rock, and I didnt get the orthoceras. Some of the fossils like the Mosa tooth are broken and glued togethor, and the trilobite was super fragile to the point just gently rinsing it in a bowl of water was causing it to flake apart. Pro: instead of the orthoceras, i got a flat patterned black fossil. Lady at the museum downtown told me it looked like fossilized skin! The trilobite was like a 2nd activity! A 3d jigsaw puzzle! Con: the brachipod was extremely pitted, and when washed smelled horrible, like lake sludge. Pro: the fossil poop didnt smell bad XD Pro: Came in a nice breakable brick yiu have to "excavate" the fossils from. Was fun at first. Con: Super messy, the dust gets every where, and I dont many kids with attention soams long enough to gently carve out each fossil. Pro: came with tools Con: very small tools amd I have giant hands. Probably not an issue if i had been of the right age group lol. Overall. It's fun, would be a cool gift. Has real fossil, but they are low grade. You may not get everything listed, and have to be super diligent to make sure you get them all as some are pretty small. And its messy. Catch it on sale I'll probably buy a couple for my kid cousins... and maybe another for my self. :) ... show more

  • Hours of entertainment!
Style: Mega Fossil Dig Kit
I bought this last minute for my nieces dino themed 4th birthday not realizing the age suggested 8+. It ended up being the perfect gift for some quality time. She did AMAZING and sat there engaged for several hours. She finished the whole dig in one play session and was able to identify almost every fossil on her own. I only helped a little here and there pouring water to assist with making the plaster more workable. When she found the mosasaur tooth she was elated and thought the “rock poop” was hilarious. Also burst into song about trilobites 😂 Will definitely be buying more kits for her and I to do together. Fun and educational! ... show more

  • Great entertainment
Style: Mega Fossil Dig Kit
My 4.5 yo LOVED digging out these fossils and was very interested in learning about the different animals that created the fossils. Digging them out can be a little tough for little ones, but if you spray/pour water on the block, it gets a lot softer, making it easier to chip it away to reveal the fossils. This occupied her for about an hour, chipping them out, washing them, looking at them, learning about them from me reading the booklet to her. It's a little messy, so put down some paper or do it outside, but it was well worth it. She loved it and now talks about the different fossils (especially the shark's tooth, dinosaur tooth and the trilobite). These are real fossils, some look rough like they just came out of the ground, others are more polished, but they are real. Very cool ... show more
