MindWare Dig It Up! Dinosaur eggs excavation kit

I use these in my second grade classroom. It is a messy project, so be prepared for that. I use paper plates, a spray bottle and smocks to help control the mess a bit. But it's so much fun for the students. They can't wait to find out what prize is inside. All the eggs in the pack were easy to dig into, all had a dinosaur, and the little digging tool stick worked.

Child enjoys digging through these. Nice time occupier with reward at end. Messy! We use a plastic or metal tray as a play surface indoors to help with dirt disposal. Put in trash. Don’t flush.

They were the biggest hit at the party

Bought for my ASD son. He enjoys it! If you don't let it soak the entire 5 minutes, they can chisel it out longer, if you soak it the whole time it's quick and easy to get to the dino. Each egg comes with a new chisel, handy, as it's a mess! This is like clay, we put down a piece of cardboard and throw it away each time, much easier to clean! Fun little activity!

My son is obsessed with dinosaur and I ordered him the whole box. It was fun to crack them and had a little dinosaurs inside. Very cool dinosaur kit exactly how shown on the picture. 10/10

My 3 year old absolutely loves these. She uses a rubber mallet to smash them opened and has a blast seeing little dinosaurs inside.

These Dino eggs were absolutely perfect for my child’s birthday party favors! I created little “paleontologist starter kits,” and they were the perfect centerpiece. The final product was adorable, high quality, and a huge hit with the kids. They looked even better in person and tied the whole theme together beautifully. I couldn’t be happier with how they turned out!

The kit delivers on both excitement and educational value. The digging tools are comfortable for little hands, and the process of chipping away to reveal dinosaur bones keeps kids engaged for ages. Once assembled, the dino figures are sturdy and enjoyable for continued imaginative play. It's a great blend of sensory discovery, fine motor practice, and paleontology-themed fun-worth every moment of mess and joy.

Love the idea of this! But there's no way it's suitable for a 3 year old. I had to help and was literally working up a sweat hammering away at these eggs. Activity level: Well you're sitting... Fun for kids: Yes, with help for younger kids Messiness: Yes, dust. Everywhere. Gift Value: 100%

Got this for friend's son and he absolutely loved it. Great and fun for boys who loves Dino.

these are the best. wish they were cheaper but i bought a box and every other day me and my son would crack one open and get a cute little dino. would purchase again.great for birthdays. quick delivery.

The price seems kinda steep. Then we received these and gave them to our son for his birthday as he was obsessed with watching these be dug up on his favorite web show. One of the best purchases I have made. Product is exactally as described. We had tons of fun digging the dinosaurs out. Bonus is the book that names and describes each dinosaur we dig up! Definately worth every penny. I am tempted to buy another box as we have made it threw ours.

Great adventure for a 5 year old
