My nature/rock loving 6yo loved this kit! One geode was easier than the other to open but w little taps, both cracked nicely in the middle

I bought this product at Target in Placerville, CA tonight (2/9/24) and was planning on giving it to my niece for her birthday tomorrow. I decided to open up the box to check it out before wrapping and the geodes are missing. The store had three boxes and they all felt the same weight. I'm willing to bet none of them contain geodes. If you're buying this product in store be sure to check and make sure the geodes are in the box. Now I have to return it tomorrow and find something else.

We bought this for our 9-year-old, geode enthusiast and it was the first thing she wanted to do on Christmas Day. After about 20 minutes of hammering, she gave up in tears. Dad took over and, even with sparks flying from the force, had to hammer for several more minutes to get it to crack open… and then it became clear why it was so hard. It wasn’t even a geode. The second one was slightly cooler, but nothing like the photos in the product listings and packaging. So disappointed.
Great product

Althiugh this geode was extremely hard to break open, they were so beautiful inside. My goddaughter loved them.

This kit has two geodes. We had no issues breaking open the first one, but no matter how hard we hit the second one, it wouldn’t break. I don’t even know if it’s a true geode or just a rock, since we never got to the middle. Super frustrating since this is a kit made for children and an adult with tools could not break it.
Messy Fun

Purchased this on sale however it is always a hit with the kids! Comes with all the protective gear needed. The activity itself doesn't take long but makes a mess so I recommend this for outside fun.
Fun for homeschoolers

My 10 yr old daughter wanted this for gift. We had an ok time getting the e first one cracked open and found a nice geode. The other one would not crack well, took lots of parent help. When it did break it was largely solid.
Educational + Fun!

Very fun for kids interested in science, dig kits, etc. not too messy- we put a baking sheet under the geode. Not too difficult.
Lots of fun

Our grandson loved this gift. He is 11 years old and quite the rock hound so it was perfect.
No Geode, just solid rocks

Just Rocks. It was so disappointing to try to get kids excited about science and crack these open to find solid rock. I don't understand how people are posting great pictures. Felt bad for kids.
Only one real geode in box

This kit was a bit of a disappointment. Ordered for my sweet rock-loving nibling’s birthday, and the box ended up only having one geode. The other “geode” was just a clump of hardened clay. Apparently this is a common issue according to other reviews. If you’re interested in getting the amount of geodes you pay for, try to find a rock shop that ships.

Rocks didnt open - 2 years ago, Verified purchaser
We really wanted to be excited about this one, but the rocks seems like normal rocks from the street, and didn't open with a chisel, ruined socks (mentioned in the instructions ad a method), and I even tried to drill open with no luck. Either I got a return with real rocks, or this toy is flawed. There is a video online with a kid and a father usind a mini electric jiksaw to open these. Definitely not for kids.

These took so long to crack open!! I had to put them in socks and through them on the cement. They look so wonderful now tho. I don’t recommend for kids.
