Science Reviews

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.

I just bought this for my 33-month old since he suddenly has an aversion to putting his bath toys in the water. And since he enjoys watering cans, I thought he'd like this, and he does. The color tablets dissolve in 1-2 minutes, and are then ready to pour. I'd really like to know where to find extra color tablets!

This toy makes bathtime so fun! Your child drops in two different color tablets in, tips the pitcher and a third color magically appears! (The toy's box has a color wheel to help your child guess what color he/she will get.) They have no idea how much they are learning!

From a kid's perspective, this is pure magic! Our two year old loves this toy as much as we do. I'm getting a bunch of these for birthday gifts for friends' kids. I'm sure they'll be a big hit!

My two only complaints, though minor, are:
(a) The non-toxic color tablets that come with the toy include 4 colors: red, yellow, blue, and GREEN. Green is a secondary color, and mixing it with anything else is a little disappointing. Set the green ones aside for use on their own. (Green baths for everyone on St. Patty's Day?)
(b) The color tablets don't stain your tub or your kids, but CAN discolor light-colored fabric. (Move your towels and bath mats out of the way and use a stain pre-treatment before you try washing out any spills!)
