Dig kit with real gemstones. Honestly, I was pleasantly surprised by the size of them. We loved that they come with a little storage bottle too, though he dislikes how huge the cork is and I wish it wasn't plastic. My one big complaint is that all the stones were in one tiny area in the middle. He had 8 out when I took the picture with 2 more visible. He loved it regardless, but it didn't take him long to do.

gemstones buried in a small landscape that is included. Also has tools, safety glasses and instructions on excavating the stones. Comes with a book to identify the stones. Educational and fun.

Dès l'ouverture de la boîte, nous avons été impressionnés par la variété et la qualité des gemmes incluses. Les pierres sont authentiques et magnifiquement colorées, ce qui a suscité l'excitation de découvrir ce que la nature avait à offrir. Le guide d'identification détaillé fourni par National Geographic a été une ressource précieuse pour apprendre à reconnaître chaque gemme et comprendre ses caractéristiques uniques.
Le processus d'extraction des gemmes est simple et interactif, offrant une expérience mains-on qui captive l'imagination. C'est une activité idéale pour les enfants et les adultes qui souhaitent explorer le monde fascinant des minéraux. De plus, la possibilité de collectionner et d'exposer les gemmes extraites ajoute une dimension ludique et éducative à l'ensemble.
Ce kit va au-delà de l'amusement immédiat en offrant une opportunité d'apprentissage sur la géologie, la minéralogie et l'histoire des gemmes. La marque National Geographic, renommée pour son engagement envers l'éducation, garantit la qualité et la précision des informations fournies.
En conclusion, la National Geographic Mega Gemstone Mine est une expérience d'apprentissage et de découverte qui combine le plaisir de l'exploration avec une éducation enrichissante. C'est un achat que je recommande vivement aux amateurs de sciences, aux curieux de tous âges et à ceux qui cherchent une activité divertissante et éducative à partager en famille.
