Toys and Games Reviews of Rock & Crystal Excavation Kit
Customer Review: For the rock-loving child
Summary: 3 Stars
My daughter loved this gift. Like many young girls, she's obsessed with collecting rocks, and she daydreams of being a paleontologist. So, being able to dig out her own rocks was fabulous. Be aware that what you are getting for your $12 is nothing more than a hunk of dirt with five small rocks buried inside, a small wooden pick for digging, and a small brush. The only thing that the child will keep after the experience (which took my daughter less than two hours total) are the rocks, if they don't lose them, which of course mine did (all but one). They are quite nice rocks, but you could probably buy some similar nice little rocks for 75 cents each at a nature center, bury them in the garden, and give your child a similar experience for less than a third of the price.
