Smithsonian Rock and Gem Dig, Brown

The Smithsonian Rock and Gem Dig Set is a fun educational toy for kids who are interested in science and geology. The set comes with a sand block that contains 11-13 small gemstones, a digging tool, a chisel, a brush, a magnifying glass, and a pair of toy goggles to protect your child's eyes while digging. The included full-color poster highlights the different types of gemstones that can be found inside the sand block, which can pique kids’ curiosity about geology and spark their creativity. While this set is suitable for kids ages 8 and up, younger children can also enjoy it with some adult help, as it requires precision and patience to extract the gemstones from the sand block. Some customers have reported that the block can be difficult to dig through, but this can be solved by soaking it in water for a longer time. Overall, the Smithsonian Rock and Gem Dig Set is a great introductory toy for kids who are interested in geology and want to learn more about gemstones.
