Fossil On! Science Kit Giveaway

I was super excited to review and giveaway Fossil On! The Geology Game of Brains and Sheer Determination. It's a game with fossils, rocks and minerals. Your youth can explore the earth's wonderful treasures. 


Everything fits in it. I do have to say that It takes some moving around to get everything to fit just right to get it shut and locked. I'm not sure that kids will be able to do this on their own.


Gift-wrap is available, so this set would make a perfect gift!

What the Set Includes:
  • A Fun Learning Game that's similar to BINGO
  • A Fossil Collection That Includes: 15 specimens of mosasaur, shark, dinosaur, etc. identification guide
  • 60+ Small Polished Rocks and Mineral Pieces
  • Cards with Fun Facts on Fossils and Rocks
  • A Hard Plastic Carry Case

The Game

The boys love games. The game reminded me of bingo.

There are 5 levels for up to 6 players. The game is educational. It's filled with science. It would be a great game for the classroom! It's meant for elementary ages, and beyond. You just match the fossil up with what it looks like on the sheet. Whoever has a line of fossils first wins the game.


This makes learning fun! It's an educational, science game kit offers STEM-based, hands-on learning while exploring Earth’s paleontology treasures.

If you don't care for games, it's just cool to look through the rocks and minerals.

Cost:

It's $29.95 on Prime. It's rated really high on Amazon.

Rock On! Giveaway

Things that we've always collected are: Rocks, Arrowheads, Fossils, and Mineral Specimens.

We got the spelling of our son Mica from the mineral Mica, which is a shiny silicate mineral with a layered structure, found as minute scales in granite and other rocks, or as crystals. It is used as a thermal or electrical insulator.

We have arrowheads hanging up in shadow boxes in our hallway.

Garden of the Gods

Our main destination for day 2 of our trip was Garden of the Gods. It's located in Colorado Springs. What's great is that the park beautiful, and if you are on a budget it's free.


The boys really loved Garden of the Gods! They love climbing around on rocks. Some of the other parks we went to, there was no touching. This one you could touch, climb, and we had a blast.

I just love all the layers int this photo!

Mica and Daddy checking out the map. They are the best at navigating. We ended up just walking and climbing all over the place. Everything was pretty.

It started out green and got more and more rocky.





The rocks got so steep that they couldn't be climbed by us.
 
Other people were climbing those talk rocks. Mica wanted to join them.
 There were other other rocks that just jetted up. They looked like rockets about to take off.



Then there were rocks that people could hide in.











Have you been to the Garden of the Gods?
