I bought the Ceratosaurus Skeleton for my 7 year old for Christmas and he sat at the table all day. He loved finding the bones one by one. We gave him a paint brush for wiping away the sand as he chisels. My husband and I can't believe how involved he is. He loves dinosaurs, but it's the activity of finding the bones that makes this worth the money. He's already asking for more. One note: We had a big flat box with shallow sides and took one side off and put it on the kitchen table. It will be a great summer outside activity.

If you have a dinosaur fan in your life, I highly suggest purchasing one of these sets. My father bought the T-Rex and the Velociraptor for my 4 year old's birthday. He had no problem chipping away at the stone and unearthing dinosaur bones! He was completely engrossed in the activity, proudly wore his Paleontologist glasses and has found other ways to play with the high-quality tools from the kit! Great item, great fun.

I got this for my nephew's 8th birthday. He loves dinosaurs and wants to be a paleontologist. My sister said he sat down and played with this from start to finish which took all day. He really loved it.

The box itself is quite heavy- so take shipping costs into consideration when buying.

My son is 5 and he was able to do this with little help from me. He loved the experience and the final product. It is messy, so it's best to work outside.

I gave this to my five year old grandson yesterday for Christmas, and he could hardly wait to dig for bones. In fact, he did it this morning and found them all in a few minutes. He did need help putting the dinosaur together, and he still needs to paint. He loves this and wants more! However, it should be a little harder to dig the bones out so that is why it didn't get 5 stars.

This is a fun, durable, educational toy. My 5 yr old daughter really thought she was a true paleontologist as she chiseled and hammered her way through the rock. My only insight to offer is to do this outside! I thought we could do it indoors and I'm still finding bits of rock -- 4 days later! Some of which have scratched my hardwood floors. Duh on my part, but I learned my lesson. We finished the rest outside. It took a good 4 days of chiseling before we hit bones, it really is a lot of bang for the buck. I plan on buying more models as they come available on amazon. I was able to score this with free shipping, so keep your eyes open for offers.

Bought this for my 5 year old son for Christmas this past year. Has got to be one of the best presents yet. He spent hours chipping out the bones. After he had them all extracted, I washed them in soap and water and let them fully dry. He assembled it into a skeleton, then I helped him with the painting part. I think we did a coat of black, then a coat of red over that. It looks just like the bones at a dinosaur museum. And now he's got a cool skeleton that he displays in his room and plays with quite often.

My brother got this for my 4 (almost 5) year old for Christmas. It is lots of fun and he has already had tons of fun digging the dinosaur. We have not extracted the skeleton yet, but he keeps digging away. We even have a paint brush (not included) that he is using to brush away the "rocks" just like he would do in the real world. The box says ages 6 and up, but with parent help/supervision it is good for younger budding dino diggers too.

I gave this to my nephew for his 5th Birthday and he really enjoyed it! His father told me that he said, "This is the most fun I've ever had!" Both Dad and son really got into this and spent an afternoon working on it together while Mom was out with friends. This little boy also loves tools and the hammer and chisel that come with this set are made of metal so they look real and should last a while. The kit also comes with child-sized safety glasses. I am buying this again for another child for Christmas this year. Highly recommended!!!

We bought this for my son's 4th birthday. He loves dinosaurs and considers himself a paleontologist :) He loved this toy although whilst digging a few of the pieces broke and I cannot seem to repair them even with super glue ! The glasses are definately required. My son was excited to find the pieces of skeleton and kept calling us over to look which created a problem because my 2yr old had to be kept away to his and his brothers dissapointment because there was literally peices of tiny rock flying in all directions. An outside toy for sure. However my son did have a great time painting his skeleton and is very proud of his "Dinosaur Discovery".
