15 Highlights Gifts for Kids Who Are Wild About Dinosaurs
If your kid is captivated by dinosaurs, you likely already know the differences between an Allosaurus and a Diplodocus, and have hotly debated whether or not the Brontosaurus is still a thing.
And while your brain may struggle to recall all the species names you’ve learned from your little expert over the past week (what-a-saurus who?!), rest assured that your child’s passion for dinosaurs is great for their development. Prehistoric play can help spark an interest in science, strengthen attention span, and build confidence and brainpower.
Want to encourage more exploration? Luckily, your options go way beyond minifigures and dinosaur cartoons. With this countdown of 15 dino-mite goodies, Highlights makes gifting for every Barosaurus buff in your life as easy as 5-4-3-2-1.
