    Default Toy dinosaur recommendations!

    I'm looking to buy some toy dinosaurs to add to my resources, I'm thinking plastic or wooden ones, does anyone have any recommendations for ones they like (good price etc)? Obviously if is reach tons are available so if you've used some yourself and can recommend them that's great :-) Thank you :-)

    We have the heavy plastic ones. Mindees inherited them from my boys. I've got about 15 different sizes and mostly from Elc but that was a few years ago. I like the plastic ones as they can live outdoors, stay overnight in the mud pit/water tray etc and then just wash off. Then be indoors. Very hard wearing.

    Have you thought of taking the children with you and let them choose which dinosaurs they would like?
    That way you know they are choosing following their interests ...not sure if there are any wooden dinosaurs...let us know if you come across them!

    I got some really decent ones from B&M. Im usually put off by the cheapness which means things break pretty quickly but these were heavy and quite a good price. Bought them end of Sept so don't know if they are still in store but they are online

    Time Out.. The perfect time for thinking about what you're going to destroy next.
