Good product for great fun
My bug-loving, 4-yr-old grandson opened the shipping box and immediately yelled "Oh, cool!!!!" He has done three eggs now and absolutely loves these. The bugs are somewhat bigger/nicer than I expected, so that was a nice surprise. All in all, a solid win!

Great gift for 4 year old
I sent this to my 4 year old grandson, who is very much into bugs. He absolutely loves it. I’m unable to go visit him because of the pandemic and his parents need to find things to keep him busy while they work. He still needs a bit of help “excavating” but every time I talk to him, he tells me about the latest find. I will probably purchase another of these in the near future.

NOT YOUR TYPICAL GIFT
I purchased the “Dig It Up! Big Bugs” as a birthday gift for my grandson’s 5th birthday. I know he will love it because this will be the 4th “Dig It Up” set I’ve purchased. He has spent hours chiseling away to get to the fossil that’s inside the egg. I also purchased the Geologist vest and a safari style hat. It is always nice to find toys for boys that aren’t the usual cars, trucks, or sports. Thank you Mindware!

Lots of fun + some education!
This is our second Dig It Up purchase. Our first was the Rocks and Minerals set. My son has really enjoyed both of them. We especially appreciate the information pamphlet that accompanies the kit. I would suggest to MindWare that the product description makes it clear that one will receive 12 distinct bugs/rocks/dinosaurs/etc. Before I purchased a set I was concerned that there may be repeated items within the eggs. I thought that the set would be best for a group of kids, but I was pleased

Dig It Up! is a Big Hit!
Dig It UP! is my favorite toy to order for my grandkids. It can be a little messy so outdoors is best. I ordered my grandson the Sea Creatures for Chanukah. He loved it so much I ordered him Big Bugs & Mermaids for my granddaughter to have during quarantine. They have so much fun watching the timer while they soak in water. Then the digging begins. This toy is fun & educational. My most recent order came w/ a free excavation tool kit for each item. That was a big hit!
