My daughter loves these, but they’re usually very hard to open. Instead of 10 minutes we soak them for hours and they’re still hard to open.

Wear eye protection! My little guy had barely started digging before the sand/clay shot directly into his eye. There’s nothing in the instructions or on the box suggesting to wear eye protection. I would recommend wearing safety glasses, and that this is potentially better for older kids (maybe 6+?).

Unfortunately ours had a few empty eggs. Super bummed cause my son worked so hard and was very excited to find the dinosaur and there was nothing in his first one. Second one had a dino, but by that point, he was already discouraged.

My 2 and 3 year old loved them. They resorted to banging them against a hard surface to open them, but they had a blast. Yes, they're messy, but be prepared for the mess and it's manageable.
A great present for any dino lover

My son loves breaking these apart and then using the book to see which dinosaur he discovered. Each is individually wrapped, so you could use these as small favors or gifts for many different people.

I bought this for a dino obsessed 5 yo boy. He thought it was neat and his mom was glad to have a hands on activity for him to do. I can't attest to how messy it might be.

YaYa - 2 years ago, Verified purchaser
My granddaughter is 5 and grandson is 3 and they were so busy digging right to the end and couldn’t wait to see what dinosaur they got. Just follow the directions otherwise it isn’t that easy to get to the middle of the dinosaur egg for under 5 years old but it depends on the child. Well worth it!!

A bit pricey for what it is, but my 4 year old loves it so I would get it again. The instructions say to immerse the egg in water for 3 minutes before chiseling, but if your kid has a hard time 4 minutes in warm water is a whole different experience- much easier and more doable for kids with less developed motor skills.

My 4 year old boy loved this excavation kit. He opened 5 eggs in one sitting and the rest in the next. I’d suggest doing it outside since pieces and dust go everywhere, including his clothes and hair. He had so much fun learning the different names of the dinosaurs. I would highly suggest this!
