Dancing Bear 43227-1063

My daughter is in year 3, and they are studying rocks and fossils at the moment. We had to isolate for a couple of weeks and I wanted a fun activity, that would also support her school work. After much searching I chose this, and I'm very glad that I did.The variety of fossils contained in the box is large, and the supporting documents are nicely laid out.My daughter was able to independently use the chart to help her identity each fossil, and put it in its bag. Each bag/type of fossil also has a little info card, giving more detail and picture, plus a line drawing of what the creatures would have looked like while alive.We haven't even started looking at the chronological sequence chart yet .So much joy for both me and my daughter, and she has taken it into school to spread joy there as well 😁

We were missing the timeline which is fustrating

This item is overpriced for what u get 1 card and some plastic bags it looked like it had been thrown together I'm not happy with this present I brought for a child's Eid present

Dei de presente para o neto, ele fez bastante pesquisas.

I bought this fossil set for my son’s 6th birthday party, planning to give each kid some fossils and let them try to identify them (with my help) and then take them home as party favors. The set is exactly as advertised. There are several more exciting fossils in the set, including a very nice ammonite, piece of petrified wood, coprolite, some good condition medium-sized shark teeth, a piece of dinosaur bone, and a snake vertebra. And then there are tons of small shark teeth, crinoids, gastropods, clams, skate teeth, and corals. The educational materials with the set are fantastic. The pictures make identifying the fossils easy, and they provide good information about broader groups of animals represented, but also where these particular fossils came from and what specific species or genera were represented.Before the party I sorted through the set and made a bag for each kid, to ensure that everyone got at least one “wow” sort of fossil, several shark teeth, a clam, etc. Then I had the kids go through their bags and taught them about what they had. The kids (ages 3-10, but mostly 5-6) LOVED it. They were excited about all the fossils. The coprolite was especially beloved once I defined the word for them (poop. It’s fossilized poop. 5-6 year old boys found this hilarious and amazing). Needless to say, this fossil kit made my son’s birthday party one all his friends will be talking about for a while. It’s perfect as a party activity/favors for about 10 kids. If you have more kids, you might want 2 kits so everyone gets enough fossils.The kit would also be great as a family educational activity or homeschool lesson.

Bought this for my 10yr old daughter for Christmas and she loved it! I was also very impressed with the selection that was included in the kit and thought it was super fascinating. I had purchased a few of the Rocks and Minerals sorting kits from Dancing Bear which were also great, but this was the first Fossil one we bought. These sorting activity kits are a lot of fun, a great learning activity and a great collection starter all in one. The sorting allows you to really look at the fossil and identify rather than the presorted kits that are commonly found in the market. There was so much included in this kit. Obviously, some of the rarer pieces there were only one-offs, but I believe this is an amazing value... not just for the "stuff", but the activity and educational value as well. Loved this kit... Very impressed!!

Regalato al mio bimbo di 10 anni per il suo compleanno. Regalo ovviamente inaspettato e apprezzatissimo. Si è appassionato e ora sta leggendo un libro sui fossili. La confezione è arrivata rapidamente. Tutti i fogli sono in inglese ma sono accompagnati da immagini, così è molto semplice dividere e classificare la maggior parte dei fossili.Ho cercato altri articoli del genere ma non si trovano allo stesso prezzo e con le stesse quantità di fossili.

Très bien, instructif, plaisant à trier et à découvrir! Cela fait le plaisir des petits et des grands.
