Dinosaur Toys

Kids love dinosaur toys! It seems that at some point early on, every boy (and some girls of course) just becomes enamored with dinosaurs! So much so that it becomes almost a fixation, but an exciting one. Dinosaurs are magnificent creatures that existed during a time long before early man - their extinction and fossilized discoveries fuel inspiration in the hearts of many young children and have inspired many to pursue careers in paleontology, geology, anthropology and science. At the very least, they are both fun and educational; their names can be long and complex, yet children seem to learn them with ease and enthusiasm.

Our boy became drawn to them as early as two years old. It went from simple and fun dinosaur books and dinosaur puzzles to more interesting toys and figures. Both my wife and I ran with his new interest and have introduced him to new toys during the holidays as Christmas gifts, and my wife orchestrated a really fun dinosaur birthday party with lots of dinosaur accessories, toys and dinosaur party supplies. She even put the remote control dinosaur I got him for Christmas at the center of the table!

In every type of toy dinosaur that we got him, he would dive into the toy and play for hours. One of his most challenging toy was a Brachiosaurus broken up into the letters of the alphabet. He’s been pretty good with most of the puzzles that we’ve gotten him, but the pieces were broken up into much smaller sections designed with multiple connection points. It took our boy some time to figure them out; sometimes solving groups of the dinosaur puzzle separately and then clumping them together until he finally got it!
