The 4M Crystal Mining Kit comes with different parts and items to ensure as realistic an excavation experience as possible. The five year old will be able to excavate their crystals from a block and then display the excavated crystals as trophies on a board. To do this, the box comes equipped with the necessary tools which include:
The toy comes with a hard plaster block in which 8 crystals are embedded just like in the mining field. To excavate the crystal gems, the child has to use the digging tools provided to chip away.
Present an eager curious mind with a challenge and you already know what to expect. The little one will be hooked. The thrill and fun of harvesting the crystal gems and displaying them on the board is simply irresistible.
Once all the 8 crystals have been excavated, the kid can then examine each at a time using the magnifying glass. The kid also gets to learn interesting facts and qualities of the mined crystals. This gives additional learning for the five year old before they can display them on the display board.
