Insect Excavation Kit #DiscoverWithDrCool

My son loves bugs and insects. Don't a lot of kids? He recently had the opportunity to play with a kit where he could actually dig some critters out of it! Sounds pretty awesome, doesn't it?

He used the Dr Cool Insect Excavation Kit.

Company's Product Description

This hands-on dig kit contains a genuine spiny spider, fortune beetle, & scorpion preserved in acrylic
Kit includes digging tool, brush and magnifying glass and is a great way to start an insect collection
Perfect gift for any kid aged 6-12 that is interested in bugs, science, entomology, or paleontology
The 12-page info guide is filled with cool science facts about insects and was written by teachers
Activity booklet contains 10 wonderful puzzles and games for hours of extra fun and learning

This is everything that came inside of the kit. An adventure guide, activity booklet, hard beetle to dig through, brush, digging tool, and magnifying glass.

We put this on top of some paper towels, on a hard surface because we knew it was going to get a bit dusty and messy.
My son started digging through the hard green beetle but it is pretty tough to get through. We took turns digging a little bit at a time.
It may have been tough to get through, but that's part of the fun. I wouldn't want something he could dig through in 5 minutes and then be bored and done with it. This takes some time. You could do a little bit every day if you really wanted to...

We finally got through the beetle and discovered 3 really cool insects inside, each encased in their own flat glass dome.

The creatures inside were a scorpion, beetle and spider. My son's favorite was the scorpion. I thought they were all pretty cool though. They are rather small, compared to what I was expecting them to be, but still great. I like that they are secured in their own dome so that they will last for a long period of time.

The reason I was really looking forward to trying this kit was because my son is home schooled, and I'm always looking for new, hands-on activities that can actually teach him something. He also had a lot of fun using the activity booklet that came with and learning some facts about the bugs that he discovered. We had a lot of fun working together. I highly recommend, as long as your kids are old enough to use such things- could be a choking hazard if your child is too young. The key is to supervise and help them too, so they can have fun and learn with you.

I would love to try the other Dr Cool Kits in the future.

Choose the right CBD for your daily routine

Can I ask you a question? Have you heard of the endocannabinoid system? If you thought “no” — You are not alone. Most people have no idea it exists… Yet, your endocannabinoid system (ECS) is a neural network that exists throughout your body and in every organ! Appetite, sleep, immune response, mood and pain are all regulated by your ECS and can become imbalanced. In fact, if you are experiencing issues such as inflammation, tremors, stress, lack of appetite or even pain… Then, it’s very likely that your ECS system is imbalanced. And to put your ECS system back in balance, it is time for you to discover the power of cannabinoids. Today, I hope to make this easier for you… My friends over at Elixinol have an amazing product called 300 mg Cinnamint Hemp Oil Drops Tincture and 900 mg CBD capsules that contains full-spectrum, 100% organic hemp cannabinoid extract. And, for a limited time, you can get this product at 15% OFF. Just make sure to

8 Packing Hacks When Moving

Moving is almost rarely enjoyable. I mean, you have to pack up all your stuff just to unpack it again somewhere else? You eat off of paper plates with plastic utensils for your last week because you know your kitchen takes the most to pack. You shift boxes around for weeks while you try and continue living in your home. It’s just not fun. Certain things can make it more enjoyable or at least easier, however. For instance, if you have found a great apartment for rent center city or similar, then you might find that this takes the sting out somewhat. However, there will still be things you need to bear in mind to ensure that you can do it right. The fun comes on the other end when you get to unpack and decorate somewhere new! Whether you’re moving to a new city, a new apartment, with a significant other, into your first married home…it’s exciting doing something new. Now, to get to the new, and past the terrible process of moving, here are my packing hacks. Label everything! Unless you’
