This review is from: DIG! & DISCOVER: Civil War (Toy)

This is a great product. Kristal Educational does a fantastic job in teaching archaeology, palentology, astronomy, or geology through a toy.

This toy also teaches patience and perseverance. Sure, there is a mess issue, but it can be easily contained by simply using newsaper, a little attentiveness, and a "project area".

Note: This is a "project" toy. It does take some time to complete. I would not recommend it to any child that has a low attention level.

My daughter received the Wooly Mammoth Dig Kit as a gift and she enjoyed it immensely. She still proudly displays it today.

This product was not what I expected it to be. My 9 year old son is very much into the Civil War, this would have been a great present for him if it had been easier to work with. The project was very hard and time consuming. It did not look as represented. Not happy at all.
