For our final post as ambassadors for the National Geographic™ STEM educational kits from Bandai we were sent two more full dig kits (Gemstone and Shark Tooth) and the the National Geographic™ Ultimate Play Sand. We have previously reviewed their Dig Kits<\/a> (Dino Fossil and Real Bug) and Mini Dig Kits<\/a> (Shark, Dino Poop and Treasure); their Crystal Lab kits and Sea Monkeys<\/a>; Build your own Volcano<\/a> and Geodes<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The National Geographic™ Ultimate Play Sand<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The National Geographic™ Ultimate Play Sand feels great and never dries out.\nEasy to mould into shape and the kit contains 6 brightly coloured shapes (in\npink and green). It is a simple kit also containing just 2lb (0.9kg) bag of\ngreen play sand and a plastic sand tray.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Although great fun and can be played with straight out\nof the box there is no scientific explanation as to why the sand does not dry\nout – just what to do if it changes due to humidity. It would also have been\ngreat if the tray had a lid provided to make it more portable\/for storage\nreasons. The National Geographic™ Ultimate Play Sand also comes in other colours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The National Geographic™ Gemstone and Shark Tooth Dig Kits<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As I have said we have previously used The National Geographic™ Dig Kits and Dig Kit Minis so knew exactly what we were doing. Children learn in different ways and it is one of the reasons that I feel home education<\/a> is perfect for the sensory seeker<\/a>. He was pleased that he got to dig out a Shark Tooth as his brother got to do the Shark mini dig kit. Whilst he happily investigated digging out the 3 types of Shark tooth and 3 Gemstones I read to him the information in the corresponding learning guides. It was really interesting to hear what he already knew from playing computer games – particularly about the different types of gemstones. I think he really liked that each month of the year has a corresponding gemstone – which made it a bit more about him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As with all The\nNational Geographic™ Dig Kits he wore old clothing and did the dig outside\n– which is a great reason to get outdoors. Through doing the The National Geographic™ Dig Kits he has learnt patience and precision, as\nwell as identifying and all the facts associated with his finds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
