Customer Reviews

Soak the dinosaur pieces and use a toothpick to poke out small holes.Well, first off it is hard to get the dinosaur out- not entirely bad. But you will need to help your children. I used a hammer a couple of times. The dinosaur itself is not easy to put together. There are several small holes that are hard to see- you will need a toothpick to poke out the clay. It is also not a bad idea to soak it in water. The reason it is hard to put together is you don t know where these small holes are located. Again soak it and they will be easier to find. That said my grandsons had a blast. Also do inside a box or outside ito contain the mess. My grandsons are 3 and 5. An older child would probably have an easier time excavating the dinosaur. 4Super fun, kept my 5 year olds interest for 5+ hoursSuper fun Dino dig that kept my 5 year olds interest for 3 days totaling about 5 hours of digging and cleaning. She was so pleased every time she came upon another bone in the pressed dirt and then had a puzzle of how they fit together once they were all out and cleaned.We supplemented the Dino dig with a few books and a few you tube videos on paleontologists and actual Dino digs. Worth the time and effort and her completed Dino is on her dresser in her room. So cool! 5Great dino!!This kit was not large but had a decent size skeleton in it. It took my boys (6 and 10) all day to crack it open. I dipped part of it in water to soften it a bit at first because it was so hard but I did not soak it. The finished skeleton needed a little super glue to stay together but the boys loved it!! I will order more! 5Fun way to teach patience!I loved that this was a gift my son actually asked to play with. It definitely teaches patience!The pros:- Great for teaching how paleontologists actually do their job- The excitement of finding each bone- Bones are simple and easy to put together- Project can take weeks or just days, depending on your methodThe cons:- No way to pick which dino you receive- Our T-Rex was top heavy and we couldn't get it to stand up no matter how we manipulated the leg bones- Brush tool is a little small- You will have clay and dust everywhereSome tips we found helpful: Use a larger brush and have a spray bottle nearby to minimize the dust in the air. We got our t-rex out in a couple of days and used an old cake pan to contain the mess - even then, I would still find pieces of clay in random places from my overzealous son's "excavation" :). Overall, I would buy this again - especially if I could select which dinosaur we could get! 4Great except missing a pieceWe really like this Dino dig brand, but this particular time the Dino had two right legs so we couldn t assemble it.If it were complete, I would give it 5 stars. The clay isn t too hard to chip away, and the fossils are big and have a realistic weathered finish.My three year old loves these and I recommend them to everyone. We use a wooden mallet along with the included brush and chisel. Afterward, we set up a cleaning station with q-tips and toothpicks and soapy water.You can t pick which of the five dinosaurs you re ordering but there s a subtle check mark on the box to show which one you ve got. 3Buying MoreWe've done this kit and the National Geographic kit. this kidt is way better than National Geographic kit! You get three small fossils there, these kits you get an entire dinosaur fossil that you can then put together. The age recommended on the box is simply because putting it together with no directions does take some adult help for the little ones but my 4 and 6 year old and had no problem digging it out and it provided hours of fun. we ordered more directly through the seller because through them you can comment and ask for specific dinosaurs something you cannot do on Amazon 5Missing pieces, tools, instructions. Looked like someone returned it & they sent it to someone else!VERY DISAPPOINTED!! Sent it to my grandson for XMAS. My son called me yesterday after they opened it and started "digging" the bones out. Two problems with that. 1) it came with NO tools 2) missing the head of the dinosaur but came with two legs! 3) and it came with NO instructions! Since they never have purchased one of these they didn't realize they were missing tools. I am not happy AT ALL! If I could return this for a refund I would. My poor grandson thinking this would be a fun thing turned into a huge disappointment. 1Perfect Rainy Day ActivityThis is such a great gift for kids about 4 years or older. It is a perfect rainy day activity as it takes quite a long time to get through and find all the pieces. Really keeps the kids entertained and distracted! Just keep in mind, it can get messy. Have a tray or shallow box available to work in!!! 5Great buyI've bought a quite a few different brands of these Dino excavation kits and this one by far was my favorite(and my sons). My son was able to dig the bones out by himself(he is 4)in like a half hour. Others have taken months and I end up doing most of the digging, so I enjoyed that he could do this by himself. Also the Dino bones themself are well made. He has been playing with the dinosaur for days and it stays together pretty well. I would definitely buy this brand again. 5Great excavation kitGreat excavation kit!!! My 5 year old loves this! We gave it to her for Christmas and it was the first thing she wanted to play with. It will make a mess so I would suggest using the bottom of a cardboard box to keep the dust in. The material was soft enough that she could use the brush and it would still moved the dirt but it wasn't too soft. She found bones right away and it kept her interested. I would highly recommend! 5
