Can You Dig It?
“My kids LOVED their Lil’ Prospectors kits! We set everything up in our kitchen and it was the perfect rainy day activity (although we’ve used the kits outside since then and had just as much fun)! They were able to get a little bit messy, discover treasure, and then match the fossil and gems to the chart. What I liked most was that both my kids, despite the age difference, were able to enjoy it and learn!”
— Ashley J.
“This kit is so amazing! Our daughter loves to scoop out the materials and then shake through it to find her discoveries! AWESOME fun for the little ones.”
— Corey G.
“Lil’ Prospectors was such a great addition to the busy bin rotation I do for my 4 year old. She loves digging through to see what she can find and the fun doesn’t stop there. She has incorporated the rocks and minerals into her own make-believe games. I love that I can have something different, educational, and hands-on delivered to my door.”
