American Educational Fossil Dig Activity Review

After trying this product, I can say that its a great way to introduce younger students to the wonders of paleontology. The excavation kit includes various kinds of fossils with accompanying information and tools and the hands-on activity is both engaging and educational. Pros: Helps children learn about fossils in a fun way. Ideal for teachers and parents alike .Cons: THE process can be messy, so it's important to have a designated workspace..

This KIT was a complete let down.The packaging and marketing made it seem like it was going to be an exciting and educational activity, but it was far from it. The fossil pieces were poorly made and it was impossible to identify any of the specimens. The only positive was that the kit did come with tools, but they were cheap and flimsy. Overall a waste of money and not worth the industrial and scientific label..

This set came without a brush or magnifying glass and included a pencil sharpener for students. Absolutely ridiculous. We decided to keep it because my little girl bought it for her brother and wanted to give it to him for his birthday that day. The husband provided a magnifying glass and a brush. What a disappointing product. My guess is that it was a return that someone sent back and was carelessly returned.
