I bought two for presents, and they arrived fast and well packed, and while I have to wait until Christmas to get to see how interesting the fossils are, so far I'm pretty impressed.

UPDATE

Amazing, after reading our comment we received an email saying that they could either refund us or exchange! The replacement kit has just arrived and we can't wait to dig 😊! Thank you very much, your service is exceptional and for that you deserve 10 stars! Thank you.

Very interesting, educational and fun. I bought for the name because NG is trusted, but, the crinoid is missing, two are broken and some are really small, we can barely see what it is. Despite everything, the kits of the company NG are a great discovery. I will certainly buy the kit with the stones, but not this one. Even if I really loved the idea i am désappoint about this kit sorry

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.

Reviewed in Germany on 17 April 2024

Design: Das Kit kommt in einer Box, die aussieht, als hätte sie eine Zeitreise aus der Kreidezeit direkt in Ihr Wohnzimmer gemacht. Mit den mitgelieferten Werkzeugen fühlt man sich wie Indiana Jones auf der Suche nach dem verlorenen T-Rex.
Inhalt: Mit 15 echten prähistorischen Fossilien zum Ausgraben bietet dieses Kit mehr Geschichte als mein alter Geschichtslehrer in einem ganzen Schuljahr. Von Haifischzähnen bis zu Dinosaurierknochen – hier wird jeder zum Entdecker!
Lernfaktor: Nicht nur Kinder, auch Erwachsene können hier etwas lernen. Zum Beispiel, dass Geduld eine Tugend ist, besonders wenn man versucht, ein Fossil aus seinem steinernen Gefängnis zu befreien, ohne es zu zerstören.
Spaßfaktor: Es gibt nichts Befriedigenderes, als mit Hammer und Meißel bewaffnet, ein Stück Erdgeschichte freizulegen. Das Gefühl, wenn man das erste Mal einen echten Fossil berührt, ist unbezahlbar – fast so gut wie der Fund eines unberührten Kühlschranks nach einer langen Reise.
Fazit: Das NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC Mega Fossil Dig Kit ist ein Muss für jeden, der sich für Geschichte und Wissenschaft begeistert. Es ist der perfekte Weg, um Kinder für Naturwissenschaften zu begeistern und gleichzeitig das Wohnzimmer in eine archäologische Grabungsstätte zu verwandeln. Ein echtes Abenteuer für die ganze Familie!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic toy - 5*!

My child loved this toy as did I. Great value for money and will keep kids entertained for ages, there are 15 fossils with a handy booklet clearly explaining what each one is and the set comes with the excavation tools needed. Adding water helps break up the 'rock' and makes getting the fossils out easier.

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!
