Paleontologist Starter Kit

Our dino mad 5 year old absolutely loved this kit. Highly recommended for any budding Paleontologist!

My 5 year old daughter loved this kit!   She enjoyed the excavation the most.  The paleontologist notebook was also really cool!  We also enjoyed making the dinosaur imprints. 

This was hands down my kid’s favorite kit so far. She normally discards the books and gets right into it. She couldn’t get enough! I even had fun getting whacked with the mallet. She loved the book and chart. Especially the one that showed the size difference between kids and dinos. 

In the 2 years we have gotten Kiwi boxes this was by far the best!!  She loved every second of completing this box!!!  10/10 loved this box!!

The rubber dinosaur parts don't stay together especially the feet but otherwise really cute

My 5 year old received this for Christmas and loved it! He needed help with the fossils and putting the dinosaur together but was able to dig up all the bones independently 

I got this for my dinosaur-loving nephew for Christmas (7yo) and he LOVED IT. He immediately played with it first after he opened his presents! He thought it was really cool to "unearth" his own dinosaur bones. But, he thought it was even COOLER that he could put that dinosaur together and have it stand up on it's own. He loved showing it off!! Kiwi Co is so cool for young kids to explore, and is great about finding kits that let kids explore and learn in a way that genuinely keeps their interest. 

Bought it for my nephew, he loved it.  Specially the certificates and molding.

It looked like a really great project but turned out to be too difficult for my 11 1/2 year old grandson to enjoy by himself. He is now going to have to wait until he visits me & can bring it here to have me help him. Delayed happiness.

Super cute. Brought lots of joy on Christmas Eve. 

My 6 year old spent an entire hour carefully chiseling out the fossils and he loves playing with the pieces. This was a massive hit and I highly recommend it.

The best part for my grandson was the excavation...he had so much fun! Highly recommend!

Loved this kit! Love all your products. My grandson loves to learn and loves them all!

Bought as a gift for my 6-year old granddaughter. She loved it!

Paleontologist Starter Kit Book Set

This was a great one! Lots of fun activity, accessible learning, and inspiration for my six year old grand daughter, who now plans a career as a paleontologist. 

O my goodness! I can’t say enough good things about this kit. My 9 year daughter has recently discovered her love for all things dinosaurs! This has tickled me pink because I wanted to be a paleontologist when I was her age. I’m pretty sure I enjoyed this kit as much as she did. As far as digging kits this one is at the top of my list. It wasn’t too hard or too easy and they really thought out every step including the mess mat. I personally think the flexibility of the skeleton was a fantastic idea and we actually enjoy the movement of it once it’s assembled. The fossil imprints were easy to do and turned out perfect! To me the best part was the information that pulled in the learning! I highly recommend getting the package with the book! As a huge supporter of good living books supporting learning I’m so impressed with this package. This kit allows for simple discovery and play or diving in deep and learning more! Well done kiwi co.!  This is one happy mamma!!

Nice job, Kiwico. Every time I do a fossil dig kit with the kid, I swear it will be different the next time. And this time it actually was: real wood tools big enough for small hands (instead of cheap plastic), rubber fossil bones (instead of easily breakable plastic), and a chart. Five year old was able to do it quasi-independently without getting frustrated. Up to Kiwi’s usual excellent quality.
