    Fun digging toyBought this for my friend for christmas as a joke. Turned out to be the most fun that we had over winter break. It took three adults around an hour to dig out and build this thing and it was a ton of fun!You totally get your money's worth out of this, you won't plow through this without a little effort and the dinosaur is pretty cool, felt pretty solid.Of all the digging-toys available I have 0 regrets getting this one. 5Learning Made FunThis toy is great fun. I suggest getting safety glasses for your little paleontologist to keep the dust out of their eyes. The plaster makes a bit dusty mess, so working on an edged cookie tray makes clean up easy. ;) For about the cost of a movie ticket, this toy provides hours of entertainment and gives you a skeleton toy to keep in the end.The pieces come hidden in the plaster rock. They are close enough together that once you did up one bone, you can usually see a bit of another poking out so kids stay excited about digging up the next bone.The kit comes with two tools, one is a hard plastic knife with a hammer at one end, the other is a small paint brush for clearing away dust and small plaster bits.The plastic bones are somewhat flexible and are resiliant to damage during the digging process. This is a great educational toy that teaches kids about dinosaurs, paleontology, anatomy...and patience!!! 5Literally Hard as ROCK!Uh...not sure how as an adult, let alone an 8 yr old, would be able to 'dig' out all of the bones without:A) creating an insane amount of mess - (curious how 'safe' the dust is for a child to inhale)B) damaging your table top, or any other surface you cherish, when cleaning up the 'sand' - wiping it down with a paper towel acts exactly like a coarse graded sand paper.C) breaking the bones you dig out...(although they are surprisingly sturdy).Having said this: it is exciting and time consuming for future archeologists to tackle. Its also pretty creative.PROS:Creative and time consuming...Cheap.Good quality bones: have gotten a leg, 2 arms and a half a rib cage so far (2 hours worth of digging with my help - I used a chisel and small hammer).CONS:Creates a huge mess and will damage any surface you set this up on (Suggest laying down brown paper - used during painting - to protect your surface.Bones buried in plaster literally hard as 'rock'.Would suggest power tools (joking but you get the gist).Tools supplied not sufficient enough to break through to the last bone.If you hate messes...think twice - may be more than you bargained for.Good luck! 3Nice t rexWow, this is messy! We got it for Christmas and the weather has been really wet. So we put this on the dining table and it took up a whole space for almost two weeks until mommy (that would be me) got tired of the mess and finished digging out the fossils. My kids are 6 and 4. What they don't have is the stamina to dig out the dinosaur all in one sitting. So they would take turns playing/digging but would tire after a short time even though they found all the fossils. An older or more determined child would be able to dig everything in one day.The mess was awesome. Dirt everywhere. And then more dirt. But it was fun. If you are a mom that hates messes and don't have a place to do it outside I don't recommend it.Anyhow, my 6 year old put it together. He only needed help with the hip placement and it's all holding together without any extra glue. It is not a toy, but a display piece.Great. 5Rock is too hardIt does what it promises but compared to other kit brands the block is super hard and the little plastic tools that came with it weren't of much use. I had scraped knuckles after doing this one and my son wasn't able to help. The bones also had scratches on knicks on them due to the difficulty of extraction. I do these with my Dino-loving 2.5 year old and the other brands with the basic plaster style rock were much better, he was able to partly break them apart himself. We had much better luck with the GeoWorld Dino Excavation Kit brand. 3Great fun. Ilia backwards.Recently bought this kit along with a competing model and thought to write reviews that would be informative for prospective customers. Bottom line up front: the kids had a blast, and so did we. Minor anatomical inaccuracies notwithstanding.The reddish plaster gave one a nice feeling of being in the Badlands, I guess, but did produce some anxiety on the basis of causing stains. We found that it washed right off the concrete with the next day's rain, but I would hesitate to make promises about sequelae for lightly-colored clothing. The block of plaster shipped with this kit is smallish compared to the BIG NAME BRAND kit we bought, but the distribution of pieces was good, so my younger one immediately found a bone, while my older one had to chip away for a while--maybe this is actually better for younger kids despite the important lesson of patience on offer for those who are able to learn it. The supplied tools were an odd little plastic hammer-knife and a wee paintbrush which I found collectively inadequate vs the patience of say a juvenile hominid, or at least of my juvenile hominids. I was in fact able to make very little progress myself against the plaster with either the hammer or the knife end of the supplied tool, so we opted for a cold chisel and a light ball peen hammer to help move things along, despite the risk (and later the actuality) of causing some damage to the 'bones.' Using the paintbrush is of course more than half the fun, Jurassic Park style, and I found myself brushing away dust just because I could.Putting the 'skeleton' together was pretty easy...it's about a dozen pieces, with the spine / tail in two parts, the legs whole, skull and jawbone articulated, etc. Playing with it produced almost immediate disarticulation of the tail, but this might be remedied with a little judicious application of plastic cement or something like it.I found it curious but of no practical consequence that the ilia on this model are reversed. I can't help mentioning it, though, because I am a huge nerd.I'd recommend this to anyone. I'm thinking of buying a crapload of them to do with the engineering team at work for a teambuilding event. (-: 4Awesome gift for future paleontologistsMy 6 year old loves dinos and she wants to be a paleontologists. We purchased the triceratops version from a museum so I was glad to see another version on amazon. It takes a while to get all the pieces out (really feel like you get your monies worth). Also really enjoy having additional things to do after all the pieces are found, putting it together! Overall really impressed, wish they had even more dinos to dig and put together 5Great Rainy Day ActivityI bought this for a 5 year old, even though the recommended age is a bit higher. The acrylic "bones" come encased in a plaster block along with a little sort of thick, sturdy butter knife type tool and a little paintbrush. You "dig" by using the serrated edge of the tool to slowly saw into the plaster block. it takes quite a while, and creates a fair amount of brick red plaster dust that you probably don't want to get on clothing or furniture, so be sure to put down some newspaper or an old towel. I recommend the old towel, because you can also use a spray bottle to gently wet the block and that makes it a lot easier to cut the block to expose the dinosaur "bones." The instructions say the process of digging out the bones could take several hours, and it probably could if you left the plaster completely dry, but you can certainly completely expose all of the twelve fossil pieces in less than about 45 minutes by wetting the block. That softens the plaster considerably.Keep the box to see how to assemble the pieces (or just figure it out like a real paleontologist). It's a good idea to soak the pieces in water before trying to assemble them because the plaster will completely fill the little holes that the pieces snap into. You could use a strong glue to permanently affix the pieces, but they're fairly sturdy without having to resort to gluing. I suppose it depends on how much play the assembled dinosaur skeleton will receive. 5Exactly as described and highly recommended!We have purchased several of these Dinosaur fossil dig kits in the past few years for our 7 year old daughter. She was given one for Christmas 2009 and her interest in Dinosaurs went through the roof. She has seen every movie or cartoon that has featured a dinosaur in it ever since then. We have probably purchased 10 or more of these kits here because our daughter loves them so much and we have even used these items as "rewards". Instead of a treat of some kind, break out a new fossil dig kit and instant excitement!Great for tuning fine motor skills. This is not a toy that your child is going too put down immediately (if they like it). It is time consuming and can be quite a mess with all of the dust and rocks being chipped away but definitely worth the amount of money (and then some)as well as the time you spend on these. Different types and species are available so there is a pretty good selection out there for this type of product. As I said, our daughter was 5 when she got her 1st one and once she started chipping away at it and saw some progress, she never slowed down. She loves everything about dinosaurs and actually being able to dig these fossils out on her own, she has now declared that she is going to be a Paleontologist, Artist, Nurse! All at the same time!Again, other than the messy dust, this is a great product. Of course without the dust and dirt, this could not possibly even exist. When she is inside at the table chipping away, I put newspaper down and a cookie sheet on top of the paper and then she can just go to town! Cleans up easily enough too! Great price for a very cool item! 5Dig-A-Dino vs. GeoWorld(I will refer to GeoWorld as GW and Dig a Dino as DD)Shortly after his birthday a couple of months ago, my son took an interest in dinosaurs. We went to a store and found a GW T-Rex excavation kit. He enjoyed the kit so much that we bought more excavation kits. As time went on, his interest became more of an obsession and he's "excavated" many a dinosaur from both the GW brand and the DD brand.The following dinosaurs have been excavated...GW brand: T-Rex, Brachiosaurus, and Elasmosaurus.DD brand: T-Rex, Stegosaurus, Triceratops, Pterosaur and Woolly Mammoth.Each of these brands has their own positives and negatives and if you are deciding between the two, I hope my review will be helpful. I would give each brand a 4 star rating.Comparisons:1. Tools:-GW comes with a hammer-like tool and chisel. DD comes with a rounded hammer-like tool and a paintbrush (See my photo here Geoworld Dino Excavation Kit - T-Rex Skeleton). The GW tools work just fine on the GW clay.-The DD tool doesn't work well on its own. In fact, I have no idea how to break the clay with the single tool provided. I would suggest supplementing with a toy hammer. We use a Black&Decker toy hammer which has worked great.2. Clay:-The GW clay comes in several colors depending on whether the dinosaur lived on land or water. (We haven't tried any flying dinosaurs from this brand - YET). The walking dinosaurs have cream colored clay and the elasmosaurus has blue clay. The clay breaks apart easily and is perfect for young kids. It took my son 2 hours the first time and now it takes him only an hour to excavate.-The DD clay is pink and has a more rock-like harder texture. You have to bang pretty hard on it but it does break. It takes my son at least two hours to excavate with this clay. Usually, he asks me to help him chip away at it. Again, this is why the tool provided is useless without a hammer. My son and I have used the GW tools on this clay and they work but we both prefer using the hammer with one of the tools.-Washing the clay off of the dinosaur is a bit easier with the GW clay because it seems to wash away more easily. For tough to wash spots, I like to use an unraveled paper clip to push the clay out of tiny spaces.3. Dinosaurs:GW dinosaurs look like smaller replicas of the real thing and are pretty impressive. The bones are hard and painted in various tones to look like real bones. The pieces usually snap together well and when the dinosaur is put together, it stands up well too. I would recommend this brand to someone who intends to DISPLAY their dinosaurs. Since the bones are hard, they can break if they are played with. In fact, our first T-Rex broke when my son tried to pull a leg out of its socket. The connector on the leg snapped when he tried to do this. Luckily, the store was nice enough to give us a replacement. These skeletons are not really meant to be taken apart and put back together. We have them displayed and once in a while, my son asks to hold one. He knows he needs to be extremely careful when playing with one because it can snap.DD dinosaurs are more rubbery. They come in a one-tone cream color and don't look anywhere near as authentic as the GW brand. They can be a bit tougher to put together because of their rubbery nature and are a bit wobbly when you try to stand them up. With that said, the rubbery material withstands PLAY really well. When my son excavates them and tries to pull a bone that isn't coming out, I don't worry that he might break it. I say "be very careful" a lot more when he's digging a GW dinosaur. He can play more roughly with the DD dinosaurs and take them apart and put them back together without worrying that something will snap.Size: GW dinosaurs are quite a bit bigger than DD dinosaurs (see photo)4. Recommended Age:GW is ages 6+ and DD is ages 8+. I'm not sure why DD recommends a minimum so high. It could be because the clay can be tough to break apart. As mentioned earlier, with better tools, even a 5 year old can do it. 4
