## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Your kids will love it.  You will, too.  Bring supplementary tools.
*by W***T on April 14, 2013*

I was looking for something fun to do with the kiddies and remembered seeing this or something like it in a museum gift shop. Immediately found this one with Amazon search tools and bought it on the basis of the Smithsonian brand. I bought a competitor, too.The plaster is neutrally colored and despite some worries I found that it washed right off the concrete on my dad's porch. The kids of course loved the digging and especially the brushing away of dust from the bones, which is of course the part that makes even a grown adult feel more like Robert Bakker.In that connection, provided tools are as I recall a little paintbrush, a round wooden "chisel," and a very light wooden hammer. These are adequate to the task of excavation, but it will take a while. For younger children you may wish to consider using a cold chisel and a light "real" hammer despite the risk of damaging the "fossils," which latter are by the way made of a rather softish plastic.The skeleton is to my moderately practiced eyeballs basically anatomically correct (at least one competitor has the ilia reversed) and stands up reasonably well to moderate playtime use by juvenile hominids once assembled. The wee ones needed a little help assembling the skeleton, which is in about a dozen pieces. Recreational disarticulations can be addressed effectively with application of a small amount of plastic cement or similar.Overall, a great time and not too big a mess. Good I'd say for basically-normal kids from about 5 to about 15. As there is to my knowledge nobody in my immediate family who is basically normal, I'll note that it's probably good for nerds ranging from 3 to 30.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fun little experience for small kids
*by T***S on June 11, 2016*

My small son (age 5) loves to learn about dinosaurs and paleontology. So, my wife and I decided to order this dino fossil kit and let him have at it by "digging" up the bones. In actuality, this is just a set of small plastic dinosaur bones that are poured at the factory into a combination plaster/rock mix and allowed to harden. The child can then use the included wooden hammer and chisel to slowly break apart the rock to reveal and release the bones. A set of goggles and some instructions are also included. It took my small son about six days of chiseling about 30 minutes each day to fully release the dinosaur skeleton. Although, some wilder children could probably break the whole rock up in about 20 minutes if they really pounded on it (but they might also break the dinosaur skeleton as well). Just make sure that the little ones do not break up the stone over some nice carpet and putting an old towel under the kit might be a good idea as well.I was torn between giving this little kit either 4 or 5 stars. It is fun and it does encourage their curiosity but it is also short lived and a tiny, tiny bit on the cheap side as well. But, for the price I paid ($9), it did provide a nice experience for a small child. For that reason, I am giving the Smithsonian Dino Kit five stars.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great parent/child activity!
*by A***S on August 4, 2014*

My son and I had a great time with the Diggin' Up Dinosaurs T-Rex. It was so much fun to uncover pieces of the dinosaur and speculate about where the next piece would be found. It took about 2 hours total to get everything dug out--I did not let my son hit it with a hammer like he wanted to. It's great for teaching patience! The one thing that I didn't enjoy (and this is my type-A personality coming out) is that it was really, really messy! If you have a good outdoor area to do this, that would be great. However, it was easy to clean up, and the joy this activity brought to my son was worth the mess! One tip--using a small dropper of water to wet the area you want to work in cuts down on dust, and, I thought, helped move things along a little quicker. FYI--my son is 8. There is no way he could have stuck this out on his own, but he has ADHD, so judge accordingly!
