Several polished crystals are buried in a block of plaster of paris. A hammer and pokey double ended tool and a stiff brush are included to chip away the plaster to reveal the jewels inside. Put a bit of newspaper down underneath as doing it is dusty, but all part of the fun for our 6yr old boy. We all wanted a go, me, 9 yr old daughter and husband all couldn't resist it! In real terms it doesn't take all that long to chisel them out, but it kept my son quiet for hours at a time, he was really engrossed! Try the glow in the dark dinosaur, dino dig I think it's called as that's really good too.

This kit kept my very active 5-year-old occupied for hours and even days. We give it as birthday presents to all his friends. I've bought about 12 kits so far.

Really disappointed!
Obviously a returned item that was then sent out to us! Package discretely taped shut and when my son opened it at Xmas parts, tools, and packaging missing!!!

Great for child and granny
This kept my four year old son and his slightly batty grandmother absorbed together for hours on Christmas Day. That's got to be worth £7.50 of anyone's money! Read more
