Is your little one just a little bit dino obsessed? So many of my friends have kids at the moment who are totally loving dinosaurs. It seems to be a phase that all kids go through at some point no matter if they are boys or girls (yes Effie has been rocking a dino print dress or 2 recently!) So I thought I could bring together some fun dinosaur themed gift ideas to help you find some great gifts for your little palaeontologists.
Here are a few dino themed gift ideas to get you started.
This guide contains items I have been gifted for inclusion but all opinions are my own. Some links are also affiliate links meaning I earn commission on any sales but this does not effect the cost to you. Read more here
I’m not sure if there could be a more perfect play set for a little dino lover! This 2 in 1 Playmat Storage Box and Dinosaur Play Set contains 12 different dinosaur figures as well as a cool prehistoric landscape playmat for hours of imaginative play time. Its sure to be a ROARing hit with any dino mad kid. And the whole thing folds up into a colourful dinosaur storage box to help keep all your dinos safe and tidy!
Do you remember Fuzzy-Felt? I used to play with this stuff all the time when I was younger, and it looks like it is making a come back! This fun and colourful dinosaur set from John Adams is perfect for some mess free creative play. This little drawer set is jammed with fun felt dinosaur shapes and all the extras you need to create a prehistoric landscape to keep little ones entertained for hours. Plus because it all packs into the little drawer in the box it is perfect for fun on the go, sure to keep kids happy when out for a family meal or when visiting family over the holiday season.
The combination of dinosaurs and play dough comes together to make this amazing Hey Clay Dino set. This is like the next generation of play dough, perfect for slightly older kids. It combines traditional mouldable clay with digital step by step instructions on how to build each of the characters. And they have a number of different sets available, for example birds, forest animals, monsters, bugs and farm animals. The easy to follow illustrated instructions are great for allowing both kids and adults to build impressive models and inspire their creativity.
If you have a little dino fan who also loves to get a bit creative then this colour your own Dinosaur Placemat Kit from Eat Sleep Doodle would be a great gift. The cotton placement is covered with a dinosaur scape featuring a whole host of different dinos for your little ones to colour in. The kit comes with a great set of fabric pens and a little tote bag it all folds up in to to make it easy to take with you when you are out and about. Once your done pop it in the wash and start all over again, its hours of fun, time and again.
Now I know my 5 year old dude thinks anything to do with poop is hilariously funny! So if you combine dinosaurs and poop…you get these Dino Poop Bath Bombs from Wicked Uncle. You don’t usually think of bath bombs and toiletries when you think of little boys, but these are bound to be a big hit, and maybe encourage them to get in the bath a little more often, haha! Obviously they are gonna be loved by a girly dino fan too (They have unicorn poo bombs too!) And these little green balls have a fruity aroma and turn the bath water a vibrant green that kids will love.
Kids all seem to love slime at the moment, and I’ve been using all the different versions of Gelli Baff in our sensory play set ups for a while now. But I’m super excited to get out this new Gelli Worlds Dino Pack for Effie to play with as its a ready made sensory play set up with tub, dinos, trees and slime all ready to play with. They have a fantasy fairy tale and a Ryans world version too if dinos aren’t their thing.
Maybe your little dino fans love dressing up or pretending to be a dinosaur around the house. The this Colour-In T-rex 3D Mask Craft from Pack A Range might be a big hit with them. They can have fun colouring in the giant head, being as realistic or creative as they want. Then pop it up into its 3D form and check out how it looks over their heads. They will be roaring and stomping around the house, chasing pray and having tonnes of fun in no time. And whats better is cardboard toys and games like these are better for the environment too, less plastic waste all round.
I actually bought Elian this awesome set of Dinosaur Excavation Eggs for easter last year and we spent quite a few days enjoying excavating each of the little dino toys from the eggs…its a slow process but was great fun! These are such a great toy and will give you a fair few minutes peace whilst the kids focus on chipping and dusting off all the egg bits. The little dino fact cards are brilliant for helping them learn about different types of dinos.
If your little ones really enjoy sensory play then there are some really amazing dino themed sensory play kits on etsy. Some feature play dough or rice, others chickpeas, pasta or even slime. They come in all sizes and at all price tags so have a good nose to find one that is perfect for your little one. I love the look of this one below with all the different coloured rice, little dinos and extra bits to make your very own jurassic small world.
If your little ones love a good bit of crafting then you should check out the range of Dinosaur themed craft kits available at Baker Ross as they a have a tonne of different crafts to enjoy. From felt decorations and foam magnetic dinosaurs to dinosaur masks, stencils and mosaics. You will find craft sets to suit all ages and creative abilities. You can also find them over on Amazon
So there you have our dino themed gift guide. There are so many things that you can get for dinosaurs fan in your life and I hope this has given you a little bit of inspiration. Happy Christmas shopping!
