    Cute concept, but not worth $5 and a screaming kid. It would be better to buy little dinosaurs and a bag of kinetic sand. The dinosaur did not stay together. The sand was also very hard and not like normal kinetic.

    Taylor - 3 months ago, Verified purchaser
    Thought this might be another 5 minutes of fun type of toy but was shocked when my toddler (2.5yr) was occupied for an entire evening. She loved digging out the bones and asked me to burry it again dozens of times. Then after that was exhausted I brought out some small cookie cutters and she had a blast cutting the sand into shapes. Very cool little toy with hours of fun! I will be buying more.

    Christina - 3 months ago, Verified purchaser
    My kids enjoy kinetic sand but this particular kit my son found boring and disappointing. That could just be a matter of personal preference but the red sand stains clothes, furniture, anything with which it comes into contact. My son played with it once and I realized it was staining things so I had to throw it away. From now on I am sticking to the natural colored sand.

    Cute, but messy.

    3 out of 5 stars
    KateR - 7 months ago
    My 3 year old enjoyed playing with this toy and was excited to discover the bones. The packaging demonstrates how to put the dinosaur bones together to create one of three skeletons. Unfortunately, the pieces do not click in securely and just fall apart whenever he tries to pick it up. Which, my child doesn’t seem to mind. But I could imagine this might get frustrating for some! Another thing to note is that the sand is bright red and it stains. We played with it at an outside table, but I would recommend not playing in light colored clothing. Also, I don’t know if my kid’s just extra sticky/sweaty, but the sand sticks to his skin and cannot just be brushed off. I have to dust him with baking powder and that makes it much easier to get off, but parts of his skin were stained red until shower time. He enjoyed it! Just probably best to plan playing with it outside since it’s not only messy, but this particular color does stain.
