Educational Insights GeoSafari Metamorphic Rock Collection Review

Educational Insights GeoSafari Metamorphic Rock Collection
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I just received these mineral & rock collections, and I cannot say that I'm impressed. I bought the "Geosafari" Mineral Collection ($16), Sedimentary Rock Collection ($16), Igneous Rock Collection ($16) and the Metamorphic Rock collection ($16). The inner trays are a flimsy plastic; not really suitable for displaying. In addition, the rock and mineral samples are soooo tiny, almost like pebbles. That was really disappointing. I would not recommend these for purchase. Amazon should consider finding a more complete selection presented in quality displays with samples that are at least 1 1/2" to 2" or larger. Thank you.

Educational Insights GeoSafari Prospector's Mystery Rock Review

Educational Insights GeoSafari Prospector's Mystery Rock

My husband and I got this for our 7 year old daughter as a holiday gift in December 2003. We love it because long after the other holiday gifts have been forgotten about, this one still brings our daughter excitement. She just found the last gem this month (10 months later!). This is a messy gift - when we use it, we lay down newspaper and wear aprons, but nothing ever stained. Looking for the gems does require patience, but I liked that about this gift/toy because it took patience and perseverance in order to obtain the prize - most toys these days are instant gratification. We highly recommend this item.

We have this inetractive toy in the space and United States version. This one seems to have the widest age appeal. My four year old just mimics the facts she hears the toy say, my eight year old has learned somebsic interesting fatcts about the world and even us adults have been surprised at what we did and didn't know.
The toy has a map of the world and you can play in several modes. You can choose to hear facts about the different contintents and countries or be quized.
This is a great fun way to learn geography and facts about other countries.
I recommend this around the world over the space model.
