This is awesome!! My 8 yr old and 9 yr old absolutely loved this!! Took them about an hour to remove the bones together.

I ordered this for my 4-year old. He LOVED excavating the bones. Daddy helped with the assembly. My son loves it, and I would buy it again as a gift for other kids who are into fossils/bones and prehistoric mammals. Awesome! Thank you for the speedy delivery and perfect arrival condition!

This kit generated enormous excitement for my 4 and a half year old Son. This was his 2nd Geoworld "dig". It is important that you don't try and "wrestle" the parts free but rather dig them out with the supplied tools. At one point, my boy came rushing into the house waving his hands in the air shouting "I found a skull ... I found a skull" before rushing out again really exciting for him.

We also used water (poured into the supplied plastic blister pack) to wash the bones with a tooth brush this gets the clay out of the holes making assembly easier later on and adds a touch more "authenticity" to the experience after all REAL paleontologists use brushes don't they? I recommend the "dig" be conducted out doors as the clay gets EVERYWHERE!!

The Saber tooth looks great when assembled having a better color and a lot more detail and than our Stegosaurus obviously due to the scale ratio.

On the down side, this makes a great display item but is not very durable as a toy. Rough handling and forcing the bones to go where they shouldn't go will result in breakage. Our Stegosaurus head has been glued back 3 times but at the time of writing the Saber is as yet undamaged.

Highly recommended.

Honest reviews on Geoworld Ice Age Excavation Kit - Sabre Tooth Tiger Skeleton

The product arrived cracked. We could just break apart in our hands...no digging necessary. Also one of the pieces broke even though we barely pulled on it. Maybe good for younger kids. My son is 9.

My son loves this. He is 5 and he loves to "excavate" with dada! They are not that sturdy though and I am still trying to find some glue to fix the broken pieces. They are made to sit on a shelf, not to be played with with play-doh.
