Hours of fun

September 14, 2024 - By Christina from New Mexico

These amazing sets were sold out all over but the awesome staff at our local store found 1 for me. I’m so appreciative because my daughter absolutely loves digging for dinos in her sand box. The brushes and sifters are the perfect size for little hands. It’s not only a really fun set but also educational and great for sensory play.

Yes, I would recommend this product.

A big hit year after year!

March 15, 2022 - By Shelleyfrom Kentucky

I’ve used this set in preschools and at home and children of various ages and stages all love this activity! I combine it with books and information on dinosaurs and then let them be paleontologists themselves! In addition, I’ve not had any broken pieces after several years!

Yes, I would recommend this product.

Perfect preschool toy

January 19, 2021 - By Miss Valfrom Middletown, NJ

Young kids love dinosaurs... and digging for them. It comes with flexible plastic dino skeletons, 4 paint brushes and 4 sand shovels. I have used these dinos in a rice table with 5 year olds as well as a sand table for 3 and 4 year olds. Kids love to bury them in kinetic sand too. I would highly recommend this kit for young paleontologists.

Yes, I would recommend this product.

Perfect for young preschoolers

July 12, 2020 - By Camillefrom Richmond, VA

This kit provides the tools for 4 children to experience a dinosaur dig. Their delight in digging out the dinosaur skeletons is so much fun to watch. Parents will need to provide a sandbox or sand pit or formed brick of sand in which to hide the dinosaurs before the dig takes place.

Yes, I would recommend this product.

Perfect for dino lovers!

August 03, 2010 - By Niceschufrom Carson CA

I ordered this for my son's "Dinosaur Dig" birthday party and it was a huge hit! He has continued to play with them long after the party, too. These would be great for an early childhood classroom, too!

Yes, I would recommend this product.

Dino Delight!

August 02, 2010 - By ecteachfrom Springfield, IL

We have used this during units on dinosaurs as well as health (bones, skeletons). The students enjoy finding the hidden dinosaurs. I have used both dry sand and wet sand with these.

Yes, I would recommend this product.
