Some kids just can't get enough of these awesome creatures. And trust me - it's not something they will grow out of. Dinosaurs bring out the kid in everyone. As for me, I still get goosebumps everytime I drive past a Science or Natural History Museum.Why? Well for starters - They were as big as a house. Seriously! A HOUSE! To someone who's just three feet tall (for four or five or six...), their size alone makes them worthy of awe!
Also, they're scary - but extinct. That makes them "safe" monsters!
But maybe it's because a dinosaur can be anything the child imagines. We don't really know what a dinosaur roar sounded like - or what they looked like, or how they behaved. They can be whatever we want them to be!
But mostly they're just plain cool!
For years my nephew would alway ask for "something dino" for his birthday. I'd send him stegosaurus puzzles, velociraptor replicas and - his favorite - the I Dig Dino T-Rex. According to him, he's grown up and out of that phase. Now he asks for more "adult" toys (i.e. video games, clothes, etc.) But, I always include a little dinosaur along with his gift. He acts too cool - but the smile on his face tells me he still loves his dinos!
If your kid lives and breathes DINOS (you know what we mean), come to Creative Kidstuff THIS Saturday June 2nd from 11am to 1pm as we dig for bones, play in our "dinosaur land" and make a prehistoric surprise to take home. No charge, of course!
