Kept my little explorer busy for hours!
I bought this for my 7-year-old who is currently obsessed with bugs and "treasure hunting," and it was a huge hit. Usually, these dig kits are over in five minutes, but this one actually took some time and effort, which was great for practicing patience! The "amber" pieces are actually resin, which is a relief because they’re clear enough to see the insects once you've cleaned them up. The specimens inside look surprisingly cool—they aren't just tiny dots; you can actually see the legs and wings clearly. My son felt like a real scientist using the little tools to carefully chip away at the brick. It can get a little messy (it’s a dig kit, so that’s expected!), but we just put a trash bag down on the table first for easy cleanup. It also comes with a little learning guide that explains what each insect is, so it turned into a fun mini-science lesson. If you need a gift that combines "doing" with "learning" and keeps them off their screens, this is a perfect choice!

Excellent value
Bugs are my grandson's new "special interest" so this dig kit fit the bill. Not only do they get the fun of excavating specimens, they end up with collectible bugs in "amber". Great value.

So fun
I got this as a present for my son, who's really into bugs at the moment. He enjoys hands-on activities like science experiments. It didn't take him long to get into it, and he stayed engaged the whole time. This makes for a fantastic gift. The material is just like any other "dig kit"—it's messy enough to use outside or in a contained spot indoors. It keeps him focused throughout the activity and provides some cool keepsakes afterward. Overall it’s such a great purchase that I’d consider buying for any other insect lovers

Good activity to keep kiddos busy
Very fun activity for our 4 year old, but all the amber chunks were on one side of the block. He started digging on the opposite side and started to get discouraged so we had to help him.

Perfect Christmas Present
We got this as a gift for our niece and it was amazing value! She loved it! But you do have to be very careful extracting so you don’t scratch up the amber

Good customer service
My daughter loves insects so I thought I would get her this. When she did it there was no insects but just leaves , she was super sad and disappointed. It really sucks seeing your young child feeling that way when the item description said there was insects. UPDATE: seller was able to give me a refund and send me the product again 10/10
