 Get out the toolboxAug 05, 2007
By mom of three kids
My son had lots of fun unearthing all the treasures. However, the brick was very hard and it took a hammer to really get started, the little mallet which was provided did not do the job initially. Also, I would recommend doing the excavation outside as it created a lot of very fine, powdery dust.

 Great For Keeping Kids Busy!! Spark and interest!Jun 08, 2009
By Chloe J.
"Real World Mom"
Wow! I purchased for my niece for her 9th birthday. She is enamored with ancient Egypt, as am I. My fascination is with the burial rituals, pyramids, gods, and their belief in the afterlife. Her fascination started when our cousin had to get brain surgery, and a reference was made to egyptian brain removal technique...
The stone was a little tough to get started, but she had a harder time keeping her younger brother away. It took two hours to complete with a little help from my 15 year old daughter. They were very meticulous and scientific in their technique. There are digging directions to behave like an archaeologist. Yes, it was dusty, you ARE chipping away at a plaster "rock"!! It was FUN! She unearthed every "treasure" piece with a sense of pride and accomplishment. When she was finished, she assembled the treasure to learn what each piece was and what it meant to the ancient Pharoah in his afterlife. This is interactive, and not just a toy they look at and throw in their closet. It is also a game when they are finished. 5 Stars - Wish I could of had one when I was a kid...

Good ValueSep 10, 2011
By GAMER
I ordered this to go along with a homeschool unit on Ancient Egypt. It took my 6 year old about 2 hours to finish. I only helped a little bit when he got tired and asked for help. The block was not as hard to break through as I expected. The instructions say you can soak the block to make it easier to break apart, I think that would be a bad idea to do though as it would probably come apart in about 20 minutes and would take away all the fun of excavating. The mummy came out first and then there was a few other smaller items to get out also. The mummy had 4 game pieces and a small red dice in it for the board game that comes with this. The board game is simple and fairly straight forward, takes about 5-10 minutes to play, is made from cardstock paper although it is nice quality paper and glossed over for durability.

great for kids with imaginationAug 26, 2011
By longboard
Dylan wanted this from the first time he saw it. He is a bright 6 year old with a vivid imagination. This toy allows him to be creative and perform various play situations. He enjoys it very much.
The toy is well designed and rugged enough for a 6 year old boy to enjoy without breaking it.

 Too long, cheap prizesApr 02, 2010
By Disney Mom
I bought 5 of these as part of a birthday party with Ancient Egypt theme.
It was fun to start with but it was way to long and the prizes are in plastics, dull golden brown... It didn't turn out as I expected, and the kids were a little disappointed.
For a gift for a kid who's patient, it could be fun though.
