5.0 out of 5 stars Great Dinosaurs!, August 30, 2003

This review is from: Animal Planet's Big Tub of Dinosaurs (Toy)

My 4 year old son saw this same set at a neighbor's house and he didn't want to put them down! LITERALLY! (We had to carry him home screaming apologizing profusely for his behavior to everyone) Even days after, he wanted to go over and play with them. But the screaming episode afterward kept bugging me and didn't want to go through that again.

So I asked my neighbor where she got them and logged on to Amazon.com to find them. The local Toys R Us were sold out.
For less then $25- it's a great collection.
With so many dinosaurs in various sizes, trees, rocks, volcanos and a playmat in a great carrying case- I couldn't resist to get them.

We took them to the beach just last week and there were 3 other kids ranging in ages of 2 to 5 and we were amazed how quiet they were playing with them. Only problem was getting them back from them when it was time to come home. It was their turn to scream =)

The names of the dinosaurs are underneath them, so if Mom and Dad can't remember which is which, flip them over and with confidence call out the name. Therefore impressing the kids to the end of the earth. "Mom you are so smart" my son once told me. Hey, it felt good!
And soon you and the kids will be able to recognize their names without peeking.

Great gift for all ages and he continues to play with them months later. ahhh peace and quiet.

I got this for my two year old for his birthday - he and his twin sister just love it. I just took out the "bag of rocks" that came with it. All the dinos are large enough for all those under 3.
He even picked out the dino that looked just like the one that stole the egg from the nest in the Dinosour movie. It took me a while to figure out waht "Dini, egg" meant!!
They run around roaring at each other! And for some reason this is the one toy they will actually put away back in it's box!

This review is from: Animal Planet's Big Tub of Dinosaurs (Toy)

I bought this toy for my daughter's 2nd birthday. She does like playing with it and has learned the names of quite a few dinosaurs.

Pros: Comes with its own box & everything actually fits back into the box. She seems to like the play mat that comes along with it. I like the fact that the dinosaurs' names are printed on the underside. I was really into dinosaurs as a kid, but I've forgotten a few names. She has other dinosaur sets w/o names and they look like some company just made a bunch of bunch of plastic stuff that looked like a random, hodgepodge dinosaur.

Cons: Only one beef...the dinosaurs aren't even close to scale. Apatosaurus is roughly the same size of veloceraptor. There are two brachiosaurs, but one is smaller. However, they look identical to each other (except for size). Thus, we have been able to discuss that one is a "baby dinosaur". There are also two stegosaurs and they aren't the same size and don't look much like the other.

Part of the fun with dinosaurs is the size difference and this set just kind of messed that up.
