What came first--the shark or the dinosaur? You guessed it, the shark. Did you know that the hammerhead shark is immune to a stingray's poison? The Eyewitness Shark Kit gives children hands-on learning about one of the most mysterious and feared creatures on earth. Inspired by the colorful photography in the Eyewitness book, Shark, this kit includes one shark tooth and everything you need to create painstakingly detailed molds of great white, thresher, and hammerhead sharks. The enclosed instruction booklet contains amazingly informative reading about each type of shark. Using the plasterlike PerfectCast molding material, kids cast their favorite shark, paint it, and then attach magnets to display their 7-inch masterpiece on the refrigerator. Parents will want to advise children that their painting efforts probably won't match the professionally rendered examples in the book. --Lisa Whipple

Great for a kid who loves sharks and fish- video game kids no so much.

My 8 yo son is an animal lover. He loves sharks too. I bought this for him for Christmas and he loved being able to create his own shark and paint it. The shark's teeth were the coolest to him. I would recommend an adult help to mix the clay because it sets very fast.

Wonderful rainy day fun!

This was great! My son LOVED it. Must have patience to wait for the plaster to dry, so have some "shark" learning in between. Be extra careful with the finished product. My son dropped one but, luckily, there were 3. Overall a fun project.

Pales in comparison

I got this as a gift for my nephew for the holidays. He's totally ignored it in order to remain glued to his nintendo DS. The kit seems like it will be okay when he uses it, though the contents seem to be nothing special. I'll try to pick better next year.

Fast and easy fun!

This shark kit has been the highlight of my son's (age 7) study of the undersea world. The instructions were easy to follow and the reward was almost instant! It takes just 30 minutes for the mold to initially "set" and just two more hours for it to be ready to paint. The information regarding sharks in the packet was very informative, causing my son to say "Wow, I didn't know that!" My son and I have really enjoyed this product!
