Review Highlights:
I have four kids and a houseful of toys, so I am always looking for something different when it comes to gift-giving. I like for my kids to have an experience, not just another toy. I feel that learning how to pan for gold gives my kids an experience that is fun, rewarding, and enjoyable, as well as allowing them to share in a moment from history. I would recommend this to homeschooling parents, as well as to parents of children in the school system.
The panning was exciting for my 6 year old. He found picking out the bits of fools gold to be a little tedious, but his sister helped out with that. As an adult I appreciated the learning opportunity. Since everyone ends up reading about the Gold Rush, it's exciting to learn the basic process, and to realize how much work those gold miners had to do. - Homeschooling Veteran of 11 years
