Discovery KidsDiscovery™ Colossal Fossil Dig Set, 15-Piece Archeology Excavation Kit, Uncover Real Shark Teeth & More, Every Fossil Set is Unique, STEM Toys for Boys and Girls

This fossil dig was great to do with our science unit on fossils and going into the geology unit! My kids had fun doing it, we talked about how real paleontologists have to be very careful and it actually clicked trying to get these sometimes very tiny fossils out!Better than the other dino/fossil digs we've tried in the past and a better value!I did soak the fossil "brick" in the kitchen sink for about 30 minutes - wasn't dusty that way but it was very muddy. I do recommend having some heavier duty soap on hand to scrub with afterwards. We used my husband's Fast Orange scrub and my hands are still stained grey!

The kids had a great time with this but the one mistake we made was doing this on our patio furniture. The clean up would have been easier if we had done with somewhere where we could hose it off and be done with it. Be warned.

I was a little let down by this. It was a VERY dirty project and the kids couldn’t always tell what was a fossil and what was the plaster. They last about 10 min looking for the fossils.

My son really likes these kits and this one is nice because it is not hard to dig. IT IS VERY MESSY. We have had these kits before and they are always dusty but this one is a darker color and stains hands and surfaces a little bit. Not a huge deal but something to keep in mind. This is one I would have rather saved to do outside.Other than that it is fun and a good price.

Stepson loved it.

Do not buy this product! It dyed my kids hands, and my counters are stained forever! Everywhere went it completely died it and destroyed!

I was prepared for some mess, dust/dirt. I had my son do it outside, added water as recommended. I did not plan on black thick mud being EVERYWHERE. I definitely would have had him change clothes or hosed him off before coming inside! Taken his shoes off before hand, and/or had him wear goggles, his face looked like an old coal miner picture!But he had a blast, absolutely great product for the money, I had enough space to breathe and do the laundry. I’ll just be more prepared next time!
