Here is my experience:

My kids had a blast! Although I have a 3 and 5 year old, my 5 year old did most of the digging and my 3 year old did most of the spreading around all the green stuff while she was digging. I think this is a pretty cool activity and got my kids away from the TV and away from their learning apps to do some real hands on learning. I a very pleased with Dr Cool and I can not wait to try more  of his products! I did receive this for review purposes.
