It truly is a fact that a lot of boys will go through a stage of becoming involved by everything dinosaur. Subsequently their Dads get to relive their childhood captivation around once more with their sons. Whether you watched Disney's Dinosaur or Jurassic Park to spark their interest you can now use dinosaurs as a theme for almost anything from birthday parties to bedroom decoration. Many parents especially homeschooling parents of children with Aspergers (where the child may be obsessed with dinosaurs) use the special interest in dinosaurs to teach everything from the alphabet, colours and counting to art and history. Never miss an opportunity to teach your child something in a fun and interesting way, whether autistic, homeschooling or not.
So which are the best dinosaur toys for your dinosaur mad boys (Dad included)?1. Kota The Triceratops2. Jumbo Dinosaurs3. ZipBin Dinosaur Playset4. My First Dinosaur Science Kit5. Melissa & Doug Dinosaur Stamp Set6. Melissa & Doug T-Rex Dinosaur Plush7. Scientific Interactive Amazing Dinosaurs8. 4D Vision Tyrannosaurus Rex Anatomy Model9. Tub fun - Dinosaurs10. The Dinosaur Board Game
With this selection you can ride and feed your very own animatronic Triceratops (Kota's tail, head, eyes, horns and mouth are animated) - a big hit with kids of all ages - be warned though Dads it does have a maximum weight limit for riders of 60lb! Listen to the dinosaur themed songs as you bounce along on the spring loaded seat holding on tightly to the hidden handle. Not a cheap gift at $300 - but what a winner!
If your budget is more like $20 and under then consider a set of plastic dinosaur figurines. A set will usually include the most well known dinosaurs: Ceratosaurus, Pachycephalosaurus, Stegosaurus, Parasaurolophus, Tyrannosaurus, Spinosaurus, Brachiosaurus, Velociraptor, Apatosaurus, Euoplocephalus, Triceratops, Styracosaurus. A must have for your dinosaur figure collection is a zip bin storage solution and playmat in one. Unzip to play in the colourful dinosaur environment complete with a volcano and tar pit. When play is done for the day simply zip up the sides, place dinosaurs inside and pop the lid back on again - makes encouraging kids to keep their toys tidy a breeze.
Now of course Scientific Explorer manufacture a dinosaur exploration kit! Contains everything you need to dig up a dinosaur skeleton, display your findings, build a glow in the dark model and grow and shrink some giant dinosaurs whilst learning about the prehistoric past. For the more technology minded why not consider an interactive learning tool with information about 10 dinosaurs and 1000's of built in quiz questions available at the touch of a button. Melissa and Doug have two quality items in the Top 10 - best value for money and a great gift for friends parties or as a stocking filler is their dinosaur stamp set valued at just under $10. Or, your very own adorable and cuddly plush Tyrannosaurus Rex for less than $30 - yes I said cuddly T-Rex!
Now if anatomy is more your thing and you want to get inside a Tyrannosaurus Rex then a 4 Dimensional anatomy model is a must have (available in Velociraptor and Triceratops too). Have fun in the bath tub with special magic foam dinosaurs cut outs that stick to the tub when wet - great fun for kids 3 years old and up. Finally, what Top 10 would be complete without a Dinosaur board game - board games are great for being topic orientated teaching tools for colour recognition, counting, logic and strategy all whilst having fun and learning how to share and co-operate with others. Accompany any of these gifts with a book about dinosaurs and you are well on the way to the perfect discovery science gift.
