SmartstoyGem dig kit with 12 Real Gemstones for Kids - Rock Collection Includes Excavation Tools, Goggles & Storage Bag, Display Keychain - Science Archeology Kits for Kids Ages 6 7 8 9 - Gift stem Activities

This Gem dig kit was a really fun activity for my kids. They love collecting rocks so letting them dig for special stones was really exciting for them. The kit comes with everything you need to dig up your gems. What I found very creative is that they give you hardware to either make a necklace or earrings out of the stones you dig. I will say this is messy so doing it outdoors or covering your table would be wise. Getting dirty is all a part of the fun though! It makes you feel like you’re a real geologist, chiseling and hammering out the gems. I like that it wasn’t overly easy so it actually took the kids awhile to collect the gems. It kept them entertained for a couple of hours. Overall I’d say the kids had a great time with this kit!

This was a fun activity, with STEM qualities. It's engaging, interactive, and interesting. The kit was packaged well, and was well organized. I used all the tools included to extract the gemstones, which was a messy process so be sure to prepare your work space with newspaper or complete this activity outside. Wetting the clay definitely helped expedite the process.The kit includes an entire jewelry set making set complete with necklace, clip-on earrings, and an adjustable ring. A key chain making kit is also included.Suitable and appropriate for both boys and girls. This would make a great gift for any occasion.

My grandson (12 yo) enjoyed this science based gift. And has plans to make some of them into gifts.

So I bought this for my 4 y/o daughter and she absolutely loved it! I would have given 5 stars but they advertised 13 gems and ours only had 9. BUT I reached out to smartstoy customer service and they were so quick to respond and they really wanted to help with the situation so they are sending me a replacement. I will buy from smartstoy again because they have very unique kids toys and crafts and great customer service.

My 5 yr old great grandson loved this Christmas gift. He had fun doing the digging and cherishes the gems he has and carries them in the pouch that came with the kit.I looked at all the kits available on Amazon and this one looked like the most for the best price. It really was a great value.
