Too hard & huge mess
At first, my kids (8 & 5) were really excited about this. They were able to dig out a couple shells from the top of the block and it kept them working on it. However, as they continued the block was just too hard and dense, not really like sand or clay, kind of a sticky in-between. We tried pouring water on it a bit at a time, as stated in the instructions. However, it just made a huge mess... As they dug, the clay-ish liquid spattered all over clothes, chairs, the floor, and my near by curtains and window. We decided to try soaking it outside at that point, and still weren't able to get all the shells out. I had the block in a metal pan, and it even ruined my pan. So... Fun at first when it was dry, but ended up being frustrating and a giant mess. Try at your own risk?

Such a fun kit!!
Such a great kit! Happy to see a fun seashell option. My daughter loved this! No broken shells. We did it over two days. She loved the Conch Whistle! This would be an awesome gift too.

Digging in the dirt can be fun!
My grandchild loved this! It was a hit from the moment it was opened. Makes a great gift! Set up on newspaper and let the fun begin!

Too hard
This was awful. So hard to dig. I had to do all the digging and it was hard for me. No way a child could do it. I finally soaked it overnight under water. So I finally got all the treasures. But it was awful.

Very fun kit!
I purchased this for my 5 year old grand daughter and she loves it. She loved digging out the shells and then showing them to everyone! She loves to get out her shells and play with them too! She is one that loves science and this was a great gift for her!
