This is a great toy for kids and their parents to share. I did the dig with my 5 years old daughter and we both had a blast and got our game room thoroughly dusty. Was totally worth it...

The box includes a block of sand stone that you dig through with a plastic tool and a brush. Both tools were a little small for me but worked fine for my daughter. We added a second tool set from our play-dough set and a regular painting brush so we could both dig together. overall time to complete is about 2 hours if you take it slowly and act like its a real dig (as in don't lift the block and only chip away at it from the top).Once we recovered all the pieces we put it together (definitely requires grownup help here) and it now rests happily on one of her book shelfs.

Overall its a fun activity and the booklet that comes with it is also pretty nice (additional activities and some descriptions of the dinosaur.

Note that the product sold on Amazon is just one box and not all four.

My 11 year old son and I had good fun with this. I nice way to explore a dinosaur fossil dig in the comfort of an air conditioned room. The model skeleton has much better detail than expected. The tools worked fine, though we did get a bigger paint brush to move the dust easier.

My 13 y.o. son has toyed with the idea of becoming a Paleontologist, so this was right up his alley. He thoroughly enjoyed excavating the bones from the block of clay and piecing the dinosaur together. Things can get a little dusty in the process, so I would recommend a tray or large towel to contain the clay. Great toy educational and kept him busy for a couple of hours.

Honest reviews on Educational Insights Triceratops (GeoSafari Dino Digs)

I highly recommend this product. It is a little messy, so be prepared. Both my daughters loved working on this and finding the bones. You would here them talking as they used the tool, "Here's another one!". And after finding all the bones, they get to put the dinosaur together and have it on display! This is a product we would purchase another of which is great, because they have other dinosaurs available. Once again a great product from Educational Insights! See my full review here:

This comes as a dry solid block, which is clay with plastic bones embedded. You scrape away the clay with plastic tools provided. This takes patience, or you can wet it and have the clay fall away. I found this fun as an adult, but perhaps slightly tedious. A partner makes it more fun. The wax provided doesn't really hold the bones together securely, so the heavy head kept drooping. Glue might work better.
