Easter Dino Eggs Dig Kit, 12 Pack Dinosaur Eggs Excavation Science Experiments Kits for Kids 4-12, Easter Basket/Stocking Stuffers, Toys for 3+ 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Year Old Boys Girl

I got these for my three year old’s birthday. I know they are meant for older ages, but he has seen Blippi fossil dig eggs for dinosaurs like this and I knew he’d love it. You can use the tools and break an egg open while it’s dry or you can soak the egg for 5 minutes and break it open wet. It’s a lot easier to do when wet, and my son was able to one by himself that way. We’ve opened up about 7 of them total and he’s needed my help with 6 of them. We use the tool provided, but we also use some fake tools from my son’s tool kit for a little extra help. It is a VERY messy activity, especially when the egg has been soaked. We do it inside at a table in a plastic bin or outside. Afterwards you’ve got to wipe everything and everyone down. My son loves it, and while sometimes it can be a long and tough process with lots of complaints in between, I feel like it’s a good activity that teaches patience and perseverance. I think it’s definitely worth the price and love that they give you plenty of eggs. My son also likes learning about each dinosaur with the cards they include. Some of the wording on the cards don’t make sense, but we just laugh about it!

Bought as gifts for boys & girls

My grandson will love them as he is into fossils and dinosaurs for Xmas!

Good for about 25 minutes distracting the kids. Give the a story to go with the “dig”.

We have actually bought this exact set more than once. It’s a fantastic set for the price.

Kids loved this even though it was a little messy

The kids LOVE digging through these dinosaur eggs. It is the perfect activity if you want them to focus on something for 15 min or more. Would recommend to anyone with kids who love dinosaurs.

These are a nice idea for kids. I think like many parents we purchased these for our kids to get hands on activities. Where these fall short is how hard they are to actually get them to come apart. I am 25 years old and had a hard time picking them apart even after long soaking periods. My almost 4 year had no shot. Maybe these were intended for a little older, however as mentioned above I even struggled sawing away at these things. They are rock solid. To try and give them an extra chance I even let these soak for up to 5 hours at a time to hopefully soften them. It helped, but still wasn’t something that tiny kid hands had a shot at getting apart. I’m giving three stars because they packaging and items were as described, but aren’t really practical for small kids. Hope this helps.
