Title: The Perfect Gift for Any Dino-Loving Kid
Review: If you have a young child that loves dinosaurs, then this is a fantastic set for them. It's packaged so nicely, and you get 10 eggs, excavating tools, a dinosaur guide, and even a diorama background with stickers to decorate it with. I got this for my 4-year-old, and he's absolutely in love with this activity. Not only is it completely interactive and a great learning tool for a child but kind of messy, too. As a mom, I love how engrossed my son gets with this activity even though he's so young. It gets him to focus and encourages his creativity with all the stickers and setting up a scene. Also, I like that you get so many eggs. It's the sort of thing that he can play with for a while, but once he's done with an egg, we can put it away for later. I would absolutely get this again for him or as a gift for any other kid that likes dinosaurs.

Title: Cute activity for the dino-crazy kids in your family
Review: This is a nice set that will keep kids entertained for a long time. There's hours of activity between digging out the dinos from the eggs, and creating the diorama to display them. I was a bit disappointed in the quality of the diorama — the cardboard is lightweight and flimsy and mine appeared as if it had gotten damp at some point and dried out wavy. However, the real pull for kids here is hammering and unearthing the dinos inside the eggs, and there are plenty of eggs plus tools for working on them. The dino figurines are small, but just about what I expected. There is a booklet with lots of detailed instructions and info about dinosaurs. My grandkids love it.

Title: Very fun for kids!
Review: This kit of 10 eggs with extractable dinos within is a great, VERY fun, interactive, and educational toy for kids of all ages. Who doesn't love dinosaurs?? I would recommend giving this to kids outside or on a well-covered indoor surface, as the plaster can spread quite far and dry to an annoying mess otherwise. However, it's totally worth it - they'll love extracting the dinosaurs within and it really gives them a sense of ownership and interest in each of the species. The variety included was great, and the experience was very fun. I love that it includes the tools necessary to get them out instead of having to source your own.

Title: Hours of fun!
Review: For the right kid, this is an awesome set! Inside the box comes everything you need to make a dinosaur diorama with 10 plastic dinos! Each of the dinosaurs is ensconced in its own "dinosaur egg". There's a hammer and a chisel for getting them out of the eggs, a cardboard diorama, stickers to decorate said diorama once assembled, and a full colour educational handbook.Everything is of great quality, with vibrant colours. I love the handbook. So many kits similar to this come without any educational material, so the handbook, which has detailed information about dinosaurs, is highly appreciated.Each egg will take a kid quite some time to crack open fully. There's at least a couple hours between excavating, stickering, dioramaing, and book-learning. For the imaginative kid, there'll be hours of open ended play with the dinosaurs.

Title: My kid absolutely loves this egg Dino digging kit
Review: This kit is just the cutest, I recommend using it outside or on a play table with a pad underneath for easy clean up. It’s not very messy on the hands though. My kids spent hours playing with this breaking all the different eggs and finding little dinosaurs. It’s great for their mobile skills. Fun activity and enjoyed doing it with my child. Definitely recommend this product.

Title: kids enjoyed
Review: Overall, the kids enjoyed the activity of breaking the egg to find the dinosaur toy inside.However, I personally would suggest not wetting the "dino eggs" because the plaster when wet can get flung all over and make a bigger mess than dry plaster. When some kids didn't use the chisel and just hammered the wet egg, their action of hammering is flicking small wet gobs of plaster everywhere. It's a pretty messy experience when we had a few kids hammering the eggs at once.The dino figures inside are also much smaller sized than what they show on the box, so don't expect it to be the size of the egg like they seemed to show that it is. It's more like the size of those small green army toy soldier sized figures. About 2 inches.

Title: Super cute
Review: I am reviewing: Wow in The World Dino DIG & Diorama | 10 Dig-Out Plaster Dinosaur Eggs, Prehistoric DIY Diorama, Companion Audio Content, Bonus Reusable Science Tool, STEM Toy for Kids 4+ by Thames & KosmosThese are such an awesome toy for a 4 year old who loves to crash things. Just give it to him and he can blast away! And there is a reward! New dinosaur toys!! I can't think of any way to improve this toy if you have a kid who just wants to smash things.

Title: Messy, but fun!
Review: Let your kid unleash their inner Alan Grant. With a dinosaur in every rock, this will be sure to keep them entertained for a while. The rocks are not gigantic, but they are a fair size. This can be pretty messy, so I suggest sending them outdoors to dig out the dinosaurs. STEM toys are always something I’m looking out for!
