This week’s Discover and Explore theme is dinosaur and fossil fun! With the holidays getting closer, it seemed like the perfect time to share a list of some amazing dinosaur books and dinosaur toys for kids! (Be sure to link up all your dinosaur themed posts at the end of this post!)
Do your children have an interest in dinosaurs? Dinosaurs have become a popular topic in our home. Lucy enjoys reading and learning all about dinosaurs while Theo’s favorite thing to do is play with dinosaur toys. (This post contains affiliate links to Amazon.)
I thought with all our interest in dinosaurs and the holidays getting closer, it’d be fun to put together a list of some our favorite dinosaur children’s books and toys! I’ve included some of our favorites, as well as toys and books suggested by many of you on our recent Facebook discussion. If you’d like to add some of your favorites, be sure to list them in the comments section of this post, or you can click on the link to the Facebook discussion below and join in!
