We have purchased several of these Dinosaur fossil dig kits in the past few years for our 7 year old daughter. She was given one for Christmas 2009 and her interest in Dinosaurs went through the roof. She has seen every movie or cartoon that has featured a dinosaur in it ever since then. We have probably purchased 10 or more of these kits here because our daughter loves them so much and we have even used these items as "rewards". Instead of a treat of some kind, break out a new fossil dig kit and instant excitement!

Great for tuning fine motor skills. This is not a toy that your child is going too put down immediately (if they like it). It is time consuming and can be quite a mess with all of the dust and rocks being chipped away but definitely worth the amount of money (and then some)as well as the time you spend on these. Different types and species are available so there is a pretty good selection out there for this type of product. As I said, our daughter was 5 when she got her 1st one and once she started chipping away at it and saw some progress, she never slowed down. She loves everything about dinosaurs and actually being able to dig these fossils out on her own, she has now declared that she is going to be a Paleontologist, Artist, Nurse! All at the same time!

Again, other than the messy dust, this is a great product. Of course without the dust and dirt, this could not possibly even exist. When she is inside at the table chipping away, I put newspaper down and a cookie sheet on top of the paper and then she can just go to town! Cleans up easily enough too! Great price for a very cool item!

This was bought for our 10 year old son, for Christmas. He loves digging for the treasures. The problem is, for him, is that all his siblings and parents love digging up the treasures too. So, this would be good for any age. We will probably get his other siblings one next year for Christmas too. We have not played the game yet...we are still trying to dig out the hidden items.

This gift was the hit of a party that my son went to. The response to it was so positive that I ordered more like it.

I recently purchased this game for my grandsons, ages 8 and 5, because they love anyting pirate. The description on the site sounded so neat and they would love to dig for buried treasure. What arrived was a "map" playing board and a block of plaster. In order to get the treasures, you have to scrape away the plaster. To begin the game, you even have to find the one dice that is supposed to be included, but it is also buried. I thought there was going to be a treasure chest as the picture depicts; however, that is also buried. The directions are not thorough but you will read numerous warnings about not inhaling the plaster dust, not get it on your hands, and not to ingest. This game is a waste of $15 and will end up on a shelf and most likely in the trash. For young children, who want action and fun, there is no way they are going to have the patience to be digging at this hard plaster just to begin the game. The recommended age on the box is 8 years old. Don't waste your money for a cardboard map and a hunk of plaster with bunch of plastic trinkets. Even if the plaster was shaped like a rock, that might be something they could work with, but it is an absolute brick. No imagination at all to this product.
