Do-It-Yourself Excavation! . I just gave this to my 6 year old daughter for her birthday yesterday. It was the first gift she wanted to "play" with. She chose to start in the center and chipped away at the volcano. She worked diligently and excavated 3 rocks in about 1 and 1/2 hours. At bedtime she protested stopping to go to sleep. First thing in the AM she was back digging and found 2 more rocks. To say she loves it is an understatement. She's always loved collecting rocks she finds laying about, but this has an added excitement of digging and searching for the reward. She's very proud of herself after her hard work produces the stone. Also, she's enjoying learning about the layers of the earth and the different types of rocks of how they form. It definitely requires adult help for her age. It was hard for her to use the included wood stick to break apart the chalk like plaster. We ended up giving her a small flat head screw driver to use and it worked much better. However, when she was close to a stone we went back to the stick because we didn't want to chance damaging the stone. She tired kind of quick, so we stepped in to dig and quickly found out ourselves how tiring it is on the hand/wrist. After a few breaks she wanted to dig again. This is a great idea!

GeoCentral Excavation Dig Kit - Treasures Of The Earth Reviews
big rocks . I got this for Christmas and I did it today on the 26th. When I found the first stone I knew what it was, Obsidian, but it took me 20 minutes to get to the Obsidian. My best stone is Marble. I recommend this item.

GeoCentral Excavation Dig Kit - Treasures Of The Earth Opinions
Approved by my junior geologist of a son! . I got this for my almost-5-yr-old son for Christmas, and he LOOOOVED it! It took him quite awhile to excavate all 12 of the rocks, so it was great for me to have something for him to focus so much time on, and he absolutely had a blast doing so. Each rock he uncovered was a new burst of excitement. Pretty messy, of course, so I would recommend it for outside, or if inside, put a sheet of newspaper down under your kiddo's work area, and you're good to go!

Wonderful Kit for kids!! . I ordered this item for my 5 year old nephew. He LOVED it!!! He and his dad quickly went out and set about 'excavating'! The gems inside were fairly large (much larger than other kits his friends have had). A great kit to do with your dad! Arrived in very timely manner and in great condition! Thanks!
Fun for learning & hobby . My son enjoys collecting rocks. I got him this so he could collect rocks, but also intrigue him with where they come from. He enjoys digging them out with his older brother. What I like is it keeps him occupied for hours and he is only a third of the way through.
Great teaching toy . My grandson loved it. He is seven and it kept his interest for 3 to 4 hours and he now cherishes the stones he classified himself. I enjoyed helping him. It is a great project, but I think it would be a bit much for kids without adult supervision.
A good toy. . I ordered this for my son who is interested in excavations. This is basically a hard piece of clay with different rocks buried inside it that you excavate with some supplied tools. My son immediately took to this toy. I explained to him the different rocks and how they each come from different areas of the Earth. So this was actually a good teaching tool. The rocks are not very pretty and need to be washed before comparable to the supplied description handout. The box is thin cardboard and very flimsy. The pointy tool broke quickly so he used different things lying around the house. But that piece of clay stuff, I tell you, he really loved it! He dug and dug and was excited to come home the next day from school and get more rocks. I told him about each one.(after some looking up on the net) So really, I would pay for the clay excavation thingy again lol!
It's fun but do it outside . My son got this for Christmas. He loves rocks, and digging for them was great fun. The only BIG problem was that is was horribly DUSTY. My son had to wear sunglasses and a mask. He was covered in dust and it was EVERYWHERE. If this was done outside it would be perfect!!
Excavation Dig kit . This will be used for a Christmas gift for my Grand daughter. Can't wait
for that day ! We will both be excited.
for that day ! We will both be excited.
