Defective dino model.
The dinosaur fossil could not be assembled. The holes on the right part of spine were too big to connect the wholes. Highly disappointed as this was the toy my son was most excited about.

We’re so sorry your son had such a disappointing experience with the Smithsonian Mega Science dinosaur fossil, Crystal. Most of us at NSI are parents and grandparents ourselves, and it is never our intention to disappoint kids. We’re also sorry to hear the fossil could not be assembled because the spine pieces did not fit together properly. Please reach out to our customer service team at custserv@nsi-int.com, and they will be happy to help. Please put “Target Review Follow Up” in the subject line and let them know you published this review under the name Crystal.

Got it on sale but would pau full price, easily.
I am a diehard Target shopper for YEARS and this is the first review I’ve ever done. This is a wonderful kit. My daughter is 3 and we are doing it together. She loves it. Great quality, clear instructions (supplies like baking powder and vinegar not included but needed). Totally recommend for kids of many ages.

It’s great that she’s already getting hands-on with it at such a young age. We appreciate the helpful note about the extra supplies too. Thanks again for the thoughtful recommendation!
