Educational Insights Sedimentary Rock Collection 5208

Bought for my two grandchildren aged 7 and 10. After opening the box they removed the rocks to examine. We were unable to get the rocks back into the proper slots in the box because the pieces provided did not match the pictures on the supplied identification sheet. Some pieces much smaller and different color than rock used for illustration purposes. I bought three boxes - Sedimentary, Metamorphic and Igneous rocks. Through kids' play, all three boxes got mixed together and it was impossible to sort them out because the real rocks in many cases looked nothing like the illustrated guide. This was very frustrating for the children and led to a very poor educational use. Would suggest rocks be placed in box and photographed - that picture being used for the picture guide in each box, allowing for identification by shape, size, color
