There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
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.

I find most science toys underwhelming but this one was ace. A big thank you to whoever thought up this great kit - please bring out more like this!
Les fossiles sont très jolies et grandes. L’extraction fait plaisir et on reçoit des infos sur les fossiles.
