If there’s one thing we know for certain about childhood, is a child’s imagination and drive to learn, live and love a world that they adore. One of our all-time favourites? The world of dinosaurs. These larger-than-life creatures captivate kiddies with their astounding backgrounds and wild-and-free roaming lifestyles. And with our collection of dinosaur toys, we’re here to welcome all the mini-palaeontologists and dinophiles in the making. Read on to explore everything dino that you bring home.
Get rawr-dy with us to celebrate dinos!
Gear up little ones for ‘dino-mite’ play, in time for Dinosaur Day 2023! The holiday is observed on not one, but two dates:
- Tuesday 17th May 2023 (always observed on the third Tuesday in May)
- Thursday 1st June 2023 (celebrated annually on the 1st of June)
That’s two times the opportunity to celebrate all the love for dinosaurs, for all ages. (Because honestly, who hasn’t joined in on the fun when it comes to dinos?). Some fun dinosaur facts: these creatures have been found on all seven continents, of well over 700 different species! The exciting part of studying dinosaurs is knowing which of their descendants live amongst us still – like crocodiles, alligators, sea turtles, crustaceans, and birds to name a few.
To ensure dinosaur appreciators out there are equipped with playful dino delights, we rounded up all dinosaur toys and goodies available at Toy Factory Shop.
