From Toy Trucks to Tech: The Best Toys for Boys 2024
The Best Bluey Toys in 2024
Travel back in time to the prehistoric era where reptilian giants roam the planet! It’s time for your child to explore the world of dinosaurs through one of the most time-enduring range of toys that are exceedingly popular among toddlers and older kids alike! Dinosaurs have long been gone, but because of dinosaur toys, they continue to live in the creative imaginations of children across generations.
There's no single explanation on why young kids are so enamoured with dinosaur toys. In fact, dinosaur toys may be the first set of toys babies get to see and play with. Many cribs and infant playsets are designed with dinosaur themes. Even baby clothing are sometimes embedded with cute baby dinosaur images!
From stuffed toys to action figures, the toy market is replete with different kinds of dinosaurs. There are dinosaur Pop! Vinyls, LEGO sets with dinosaurs, and dino-human mutant figures! The entertainment industry further enhances this craving for dinosaur-themed merchandise through its many cartoons, movies, and video games with vicious dinosaurs and even anthropomorphic dinosaur characters. The recent popularity of dinosaur-centred franchises such as Jurassic World and Jurassic Park just proves our point.
Dinosaur Toys for Curious Toddlers
The predilection for anything dinosaur often starts at an early age – particularly when kids are in their toddler years. As mentioned, this may be due to the fact that many of their “first toys” are designed with dinosaur themes. A child’s liking for dinosaurs is something to be encouraged as it can lead to a further interest in life sciences such as palaeontology (study of dinosaurs) and zoology (study of animals).
So for curious toddlers, what type of dinosaur toys can you give to support their inquisitiveness without compromising the fun they deserve whenever they play, as well as their safety since they are still toddlers?
Best Dinosaur Toys for Toddlers:
- Dinosaur stuffed toys
- Dinosaur musical playsets
- Dinosaur bath toys
- Large dinosaur figures
- Dinosaur building sets with large pieces
- Dinosaur magnetic playsets
