Neat! . ... at least, that's what the eight-year-old me would have said.
My little brother is in elementary school, and he's currently experiencing the same "rock collection" phase I went through at his age. Since it's a more productive and educational interest than cartoons or robots that turn into cars (or cartoons about robots that turn into cars), it's an interest I'm trying to nurture.
This is a small collection, but it makes a nice beginner's kit for fossil identification. The specimens are conveniently sized, well-defined (no odd bits or obscure fragments), and easy to identify using the chart included. Being so basic, this probably wouldn't make a good stand alone birthday or holiday gift, but might go nicely with, say, a DVD or book about the prehistoric world.
Fossilization, extinction, and "millions and millions of years" are hard concepts for children to understand, and fossils hold a certain air of mystique for fascinated children. Books and documentaries are great ways for them to learn about the prehistoric world, but actually holding a fossil in their hands has an added impact. My brother loves his mini fossil collection, and I recommend this product as a gift for any child who shares similar interests with my younger brother and eight-year-old me.

GeoSafari Fossil Collection Reviews
Small but decent . The only surprising aspect of this item is its size -- not very big. Some of the objects are nondescript, but I suppose that's "what you get" with fossils.

GeoSafari Fossil Collection Opinions
Small ... and Broken . Well ... I really should have seen it coming with the price. Just be aware the fossils are very small ... like about an inch. Will have to see if the kids still enjoy them. At first I thought the shark tooth was missing. Then I realized the little bits and pieces of what looked like dirt in the box were a very small and very broken old tooth.
