Product Description

Crack open a colorful gem surprise! Little ones get a no-mess introduction to sorting, matching, and counting with the play geodes and gems of Rock 'n' Gem Surprise from Learning Resources. Using the included play hammer and chisel, kids can crack open each reusable play geode and discover the translucent plastic gemstones inside. Gems double as manipulatives, and come in eight different colors and four different shapes - you might find a red heart, a purple triangle, a green diamond, or more fun combinations. In addition to helping kids learn early sorting, matching, and counting skills, Rock 'n' Gem Surprise also introduces kids to early STEM and geology concepts without the messy clean-up associated with real rocks and geodes. Each of the set's two-piece play geodes pops apart and snaps back together for endless learning fun - crack 'em open again and again! Rock 'n' Gem Surprise also comes with a storage bag for fast and simple clean-up.

    Well-made toy - many ways to play!!
    Although it is very simple, this "gem" set is perfect for our 2.5 year old. At first, she couldn't crack the rocks open on her own. I put the rocks in a small plastic container, to hold the rock steady while she would use the tools to open them. This worked great and was much less frustrating for her (see pictures with rock in container). After having this for a while, the kids got tired of opening the rocks and getting the same things, so we collected small toys, cereal, etc. to hide in the rocks (see pictures). This made the toy fun all over again for the kids. I highly recommend this product - it is a high-quality set. Please mark if you find my review helpful. Thank you so much!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Da mucho juego y trabaja algunos aspectos educativos
    Reviewed in Spain on April 19, 2021
    Es un juguete que les entretiene mucho estando solos, con un adulto u otros niños. Es un juego educativo que trabaja la coordinación ojo-mano (al tener tener que golpear en el sitio exacto del cincel) y la coordinación de las dos manos (cuando tienen que coordinar con una mano el cincel y con la otra el martillo). Se puede aprovechar para trabajar los colores, la clasificación de colores, el concepto de lleno/vacío, las formas y la cantidad.

    Les llama mucho la atención porque está muy bien hecho y la mecánica de tener que abrir las gemas y hacerlo con el cincel y el martillo les encanta. Muy pronto se les ocurre meter otras cosas y la verdad es que se entretienen un buen rato creando sus propias aventuras. El hecho de que puedas meter otras cosas también hace que les sorprenda cuando, por ejemplo, juegan con otra persona o niño y no saben qué se van a esperar.

    La calidad del juego es muy buena, no tiene ningún peligro para la edad recomendada y tampoco para menores de dicha edad. La edad más adecuada para usarlo es entorno a los 3 años, que es cuando puedes trabajar más los conceptos y habilidades que he comentado pero, debido al potencial que puede tener el juego a la hora de crear historias o de rellenar las gemas de cualquier cosa, hace que también sea adecuado para niños más mayores.

    Lo recomiendo porque es un juguete de calidad, que entretiene bastante, sirve para varias edades y da pie a trabajar con ellos algún aspecto educativo. Me ha sorprendido gratamente porque al principio me parecía más simple de lo que es. Además, trae una bolsa que hace que lo puedas llevar a cualquier sitio o guardarlo en casa sin que ocupe mucho espacio.
