Real Insect Excavation Kit - Dig Out 3 Real Bugs! Review




We got to Discover with Dr. Cool and have a real bug dig! Prepare for lots of pictures as we all had lots of fun with it. I myself am guilty of digging to find the bugs just as much as the kids did.


Inside the flap you see everything that comes with this kit.


Inside there is instructions, an activity booklet, an adventure guide and a booklet to see what other exciting products Discover with Dr. Cool has.


Here are the kids searching for their first bug. They are unsure still what to think as I told them they might be alive. I had to have fun with them.


They were working together in search of the first bug. They were discussing which they hoped to find first. 


They found the first bug. What a relief they felt when they seen it was not alive. They inspected it for a long time. Using the magnifying glass to see everything. There was so much excitement I had to remind them there was more to keep searching.


Here is the scorpion up close. I am loving how beautiful it is. Of course I wouldn't be saying that if this were living I'd be out the door and 3 houses down.


Second one has been found. Its a beetle!


Finally Ariana found the very last one.


Here they all are up close. 

Both kids and I enjoyed our excavation. Both kids were sad that there was nothing more to be found. Ariana gave them all to Ashton as he likes them all. She enjoyed the search but wants no part of keeping them. Ashton don't mind as he was already trying to claim them all. After we did the excavation I let the kids do the activity book I made a copy so both kids could participate. We made a whole learning lesson out of it. They have been learning about dinosaur fossils so this fit right into the lesson and helped the kids understand a bit more. Over all I am highly impressed with this Discover with Dr. Cool kit and am looking into their other products to incorporate into more of our lessons. Since one of my favorite quotes by Benjamin Franklin is "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I may remember. Involve me and I learn."
