Box with Study Booklet & Miniature Fossil Figures

Bought for my 4 year old grandson. Wanted to keep for myself. Some of the fossils are too small and or sharp for little kids, so I happily kept those. Great set. Perhaps would be better suited for 9 up. Still, reall great deal on wonderful and educational fossil set.

Nicely packaged and came quicker than expected. The clear plastic box measures 7.5 cm x 5 cm x 3 cms and contains alot of quite small pieces. Many in mine were sharks teeth which are of interest to him at the moment. There was a large sharks tooth (about 2 cms long) plus lots of what looked like starfish. I guess someone scoops a load of fossils in as about 1/4 was a crumbly dust. I sorted those out and discarded as they were too small to be of interest. I resealed the box for my son as he is 4 and would just spread the lot out on the rugs. You get an informative little book with it and as a whole I think it is a nice present for someone a bit older than four. However I could not think where I could get one locally so the internet came up trumps. I will try and upload an image of what you get. The little pile to the side is what I discarded.

It is a lot smaller than looks in picture the book is tiny

Was disappointed with size of this item, it is quite small. I didn't think to look at dimensions, this was my fault. I drew the name of a 9 year old boy for a Christmas giving tree. He also requested a magnifying glass..the one I ordered was a 4.5 star really nice one so I felt better but was still embarrassed to bring such a small gift. I actually made up another box and included some fossils that my husband collected. The booklet was little as well. I should have researched this better.

These are indeed, mostly teeth, but my 5 year-old loved the fossils and the book. I bought it with and Usborne book about fossils and he preferred this little book. I think it is perfect for his age. Unfortunately there was not a single nautiloid included, which is why I have to give it 4 stars. It says on the box that it may not be included, but it is difficult to tell a child why something pictured is not on the box.
