GPAA Junior Prospector Membership

Jr Prospector Pack

My daughter KK likes getting these Jr Prospector kits. She likes to bust the plaster apart to get the rocks out... we use a workbench in the shed so we do not have to worry about the mess... too much lol. She also uses a real hammer and chizel, with safety glasses on. The only Issue she finds is that after a couple years if getting these boxes, there is a repeat of the variety in them. Basicly there are three kits... the Rocks and Minerals, Fosils, and Crystals... She/We would like to see a wider variety of plaster blocks to bust apart... OR develop a kit that might have something for the kids to assemble or make... OR a STEM based project...Ideas for these might be Somthing with epsin salts... COloring and making a jar with layers of different colored salts. another Idea might be to Make your own cristals using salts or sugar with a piece of string or yarn.. Kids today are almost all connected to the internet... why not add a video or interactive on line aspect to the kit for kids to go to on line and watch, play, or interact with to make discoveries!!! ooo an interactive tour of a real gold mine would be cool... Oh, and as for the gold... she does try to pan it out, but finds it more fun to just look through the sands with a fine sharp tweezers in hand, and try and see it first and pick the gold specks out!!

For my Grandson.

My 6 year old grandson loved it. He found his first piece of gold with the included pay dirt bag. He loves the ID and wears his hat to school.

they love it
