## Description

From the manufacturer

Review: Perfect gift idea to capture imagination! - Don’t normally write in depth reviews of things but was a bit hesitant buying this not being sure what to expect but my bought for my boys 6th birthday and he loves both sharks and fossils, rocks, gems etc so this seemed like a perfect combination. The tools were easy for him to use to dig in, we had to add a bit of water occasionally to help break the block up easier but even for his small hands he was managing to dig through ok. I would say smaller children need a bit more help to get through the painted surface of the brick but once they grasp scraping at the surface of the brick it is pretty easy to dig through. It took us about 20 minutes to get to the teeth in the middle and they were all bunched together which was a shame but really that nitpicking, even once found them it took a bit of time dig round them and brush them off to free them safely. We used a little medicine syringe to apply water where needed and found that worked brilliantly to help keep the mess down too. The specimens revealed are brilliant quality little teeth, with a nice bit of info about them in the book with the set. My lad is absolutely amazed by them and has had to ring all the grandparents to tell them about it, he’s learned the names of the sharks and all about each one as it’s really captured his enthusiasm and excitement for fossils. I can’t recommend it enough if your child is interested in this sort of thing, the immersive action of actively digging and excavating the specimens themselves seemed to make him far more in love with them than just ones he’s bought in gift shops etc too. Only advice I would offer is prepare to take your time digging as they look very easy to accidentally break one or even miss them altogether and use a small amount of water when needed. The brick is like a fine clay and the water cleans the teeth off quickly and nicely too, as mentioned I used a little calpol syringe and that was perfect not to get it everywhere of make a mess of it. I will be picking up more of these sets for him from national geographic for definite as he has thoroughly loved this one and I loved the father son time seeing him so excited! Best smiles for pound present I have ever got him!
Review: A Jaw-Some Way to Learn About Sharks! - This Shark Tooth Dig Kit is absolutely fantastic! My kids were completely captivated as they carefully excavated genuine shark teeth from the block. The kit includes fossils from 3 different shark species, and the entire experience felt like a mini archaeological dig! The included tools are perfect for little hands, and the educational booklet offers great info about each species of shark. It’s a hands-on, engaging, and educational activity that kept them entertained for hours while learning about science and marine life. A perfect gift for curious kids who love sharks or want to dive into the world of fossils. Highly recommend for STEM learning at home!

Bought this for my son. The fact that it came from National Geographic gave me a little more confidence. It didn’t disappoint. The gems are all actually really good quality. He really enjoyed the information booklet which accompanied the stones. Well worth the money.
