For the price this is an amazing digging kit for kids that like these kind of things, my son loves them so purchased this for his birthday, I still can't get over the low price of £6.99 though.
🎁Packaging
It comes supplied in fantastic packaging mimicking what toys used to be packaged like many years ago. The box is sealed in cellophane, underneath this a ribbon seals the box, this ribbon has the 'Jaques of London' brand all over it. Inside some parchment paper is found with a newspaper type article regarding someone who invented badminton, makes the initial presentation feel more authentic. A card is also present requesting you scan a QR code and enter the printed code to win something, in all honesty, I never use or would contemplate proceeding with this kind of marketing, this went straight in the bin.
📦In the box you'll get the following:
💎1 x Plaster block measuring around 18 x 15 x 2cm
🪨1 x Plastic chisel
💎1 x Plastic mallet
🪨1 x Brush
💎1 x Spray bottle
The supplied tools are very effective but this stuff makes a MESS! Someone on here has said it's mess free, I don't think so, my son had this plaster stuff all over his clothes, on the floor, bits of plaster was surrounding the work area, newspaper helps gather a lot of the bits but be ready for some cleaning work afterwards :)
All the stone/shell pieces in this plaster was spread evenly and my son founds lots of stones and shells as well, it really is good that a mixture has been placed in this as it adds to the excitement.
The chisel tool isn't the strongest and just as my son got the last gem out the tool did break but it was still useable to use on the smaller fragments to double check he hadn't missed anything.
I haven't told my son this but the gems are just 'coloured-glass' which do look authentic to a child, I think the shells are real but they don't cost much, hence the low price, digging kits with real stones and fossils do cost considerably more and come with a fact sheet explaining the different stones found.
On a whole, for the price this kit offers very good value for money and kept my son entertained for hours.
Highly recommended.
