National Geographic Mini Dig Kit Review
This month’s review as Bandai STEM Ambassadors is one of my favourite kits and there are five kits to collect: Dino Poop, Fool’s Gold, Gemstone, Shark Tooth and Treasure. These mini dig kits might come in a small package but they have everything you need to learn and to excavate. Also, what I like about these kits is that they provide genuine items and not those cheap copies that you sometimes find.
