20 Best Dinosaur Toys For Kids (2023 Updated)

First off, I have to start with the packaging of this product. The packaging was so fun and made opening it more exciting. My child was so excited to see the ‘secret’ dinosaur inside. The packaging had warning and beware signs of a strange creature.

You can see the head of the dinosaur. You can also pull on the chain and the dinosaur will shake and roar. It also had a QR code on the side that you can scan to see a clip of the toy in action. When we finally opened the dinosaur (which was pretty easy to open and user friendly) my child was ecstatic and so impressed! This dinosaur is massive.

When you press the trigger on the tails and twist, the dinosaur has a thrashing action and it’s eye light up. It’s legs are hooked on to wheels which makes it super easy to move around. It also has a bulldozer that the wheels are hooked to which helps plow through.

When you lift up the handle on the neck, the dinosaur roars and starts to rumble/shake. My child loves to squeeze the trigger on the tail and have the dinosaur eat and chomp other toys. We have all enjoyed this toy!.

Wow! Travel back in time to bring the jurassic era to your playroom! This thing is AWESOME! This toy is HUGE (larger than a small dog) and has a ton of great features. Assembly was straightforward and simple, and you’re ready to play 2 minutes out of the package with clearly written directions and included batteries.

The dino’s coolest features are activated by either lifting up on its orange collar or squeezing the handle on the underside of its tail. Either of these options will trigger the dino’s eyes to light up, it will roar and it’s head will vibrate /shake fiercely.

You can grab the dino by its tail to push it back and forth and watch its legs move up and down as it goes. You can also twist the tail to turn the dino’s head. A small figure is also included with this toy and can ride in an area below the dino.

This is a super cool toy for any dinosaur fan. My boys flipped when we received it and haven’t left it alone since! Hours of fun!.

This was bigger than expected! I liked that you could try out the dinosaur in the package, because the eyes lit up and it made the box shake, which my older kid thought was funny. I was nervous my 6 year old son would be afraid of it, but turns out he thought it was funny that it could “chomp” his hand! It’s easy to use the orange handle at the top to “walk” the dinosaur, but you can also push and pull him with the tail and turn his head so he can open his mouth to the side! I almost threw away the included figure because of how it was packaged (was sort of easy to miss).

I do wish that it would have included a small dinosaur like shown on the box, although not a huge deal (and it did say it wasn’t included). Took me a minute to figure out what the “Power Pad” was that was supposed to unhook the chain.

It also doesn’t release with much force, even though the box makes it look like it does, and you don’t need to push the Power Pad at all (you can just easily pull the chain up and it unhooks- almost too easily.

Overall, it’s a fun toy that is good quality and I think it’ll get a lot of use!.

These jurassic world dino claws are the coolest thing. There really realistic and super cool. The plastic is soft so incase you get a little poke from the kiddo then there is no boo boos involved. They look so realistic there so fun for imaginary play.

My kid runs around pretendimg to be a trex all day. I think the only one who doesent enjoy them is the cat.

I got these for my 6 year old daughter! It’s one of her favorite toys at the moment. My 3 year old son loves them just as much and they often have to take turns using them. They are great quality and fit little hands and arms perfectly.

They are made of a softer material so if the child tries to hit or scratch, they won’t be able to cause a lot of damage. Great toy!.

These are seriously so much fun! My kids are all about dinosaurs right now, so they were so excited to play with these! I like how they are adjustable and all 3 of my kids (ages 4-9) can easily wear these and play with them.

They are super sturdy. They aren’t too big. Super fun for the kids to play with! Great for dress up alone or pairing with a costume!.

Awesome! These claws are so well made. They fit my four year old, and even my husband! They have a strap and handle of grab so you have a good grip. In the words of my nine year old, they are so cool! The claws are very durable, but have not hurt anyone because it is a smoother and bendable material.

Buy them!!!.

Super fun product especially if you pair it with the therizinosaurus mask. My kids like how long the claws are. I like that they are a rubber material as opposed to plastic, much safer and less worry on my part.

A great product for imaginative play! Lifelike!.

Our Grandson just turned 3 and we gave him this for Christmas. When we are with him it’s the first thing he brings out to play with. In just about three sessions with him, the eye hand coordination and concept of the correct direction to turn the screwdriver is very apparent.

Some of the animals are more difficult to put together than others, so this is an item that he can grow into. Adult assistance will be needed, but fun to spend time together, and he is so proud when he accomplishes getting an animal put together.

I bought these for my nephew for his fourth birthday. He’d shown some interest in tools and screws, and also dinosaurs, so this was so perfect. His mom sent me a picture the other day of him going to town with them, so they were apparently a hit.

I played with them a little at the party just to see what they were all about. The pieces don’t interchange, so the pieces for each dinosaur stay with that dinosaur. I don’t see this as an issue, but some of the other reviews mentioned it as a negative.

The dinosaurs also come apart into a lot of pieces, which is great. It would be a bit boring if all you could take off was the legs, after all. Overall, I think this is a great set for the cost, and I think it’s great for kids who are around 4-5 and have an interesting in tools or dinosaurs.

Purchased these for our dinosaur loving 3 year old great niece; she was thrilled! Had anyone willing to sit with her, helping her take them apart & put them together all day Christmas Day. Her dad says they remain one of her favorite toys & she’s frequently badgering grandparents or parents to “make them with me.

” Thank you for such a great STEM toy!.

My 7 year old received this beautiful unicorn today for her birthday. We have had lots of farm animals and dinosaurs, but this is our first unicorn. The kids wanted to play that Irish rovers unicorn song with their animals when she opened this gift.

Great quality plaything!.

All the dinosaurs in this series have been an enormous hit – the size of this one is an added bonus. Robust toy that is able to ‘tackle’ and ‘chomp’ the other dinos in our collection. The app is fun for scanning in, but definitely more play using the toy than on the iPad.

My 7yo was desperate for one of these for her birthday. This was the most reasonable price I found it for, shipping was quick enough to get here in time for her birthday and she is in love with it. Kids and parents won’t be disappointed.

It was such a disappointment. I got this for my son as a birthday gift. With a few minutes of playing, the standing posture got weird, as the right leg tipped forward. About a month later, the shaking effect stopped working.

Which was a great disappointment for my son since he liked the shaking ability. His soul is broken and we are planning to go to the customer service and ask them to fix this. However, we are not sure since it has been a few months since we got this.

My son is very sad right now since this was one of his favorite dinosaur. We hope we can find a solution for this.

My three-year-old liked this dinosaur when I got it for him for Christmas! The roaring is strong and scary, and that was the main appeal to him because he tends to prefer dinosaur toys that already have their mouths open (easier to bite things, I guess).

He used this one occasionally and not aggressively. So I was really surprised one day when it stopped roaring! When we push the button now, it’s silent. And yes, I tried changed the batteries multiple times and nothing seems to work.

It’s a very cool dinosaur; just wish its best feature would have lasted longer!.

Amazing. The sculpt is great. My version’s paint application leaves a little to be desired. (I might tough it up. might not). The coloring is a little of the “orange rex” that the new toys have. I remember the red/brown rex from the original line.

That was my favorite toy as a kid and this is a SUPER worthy successor that surpasses the original in many ways. The thing is HHHUUUGGGE and my wife and I just keep cracking up whenever we see it. It’s pose-able and great for photos.

I brought it into my office as a joke and folks were coming by my desk just to play with Rexy and make him swallow Spider-man or Black Panther. So look, you know that they production run will start dwindling soon – and then the price will soar.

I think this will be one of those toys like the original Rex, or the Legendary Millennium Falcon because it is an expensive item. So, if you think it will make you happy, I really recommend grabbing it because this thing is just my favorite and makes me crack up just thinking about it on my nightstand.

We absolutely love these dinosaurs, my daughter plays with them every day. The only complaint that we have is that the Tyrannosaurus rex and raptors legs were either made improperly or smooshed in packaging that caused them to not be able to stand on their own.

I have tried stretching them out so that they will stand, but have not had too much luck. They are otherwise amazing, and hours of fun. Very durable and detailed.

My 5 year old grandson loves all things dinosaur! We recently took him to an animated dinosaur exhibit with very realistic moving “toys” and he of course wanted some of his own. We were so happy to see that this set included all the ones that were in the exhibit! I have bought several other dinosaur models in the last year and these are some of the best! The size is perfect for him and he loves to carry them everywhere he goes! They are all realistically detailed and colored which really helps the children to learn the names of them and easily ID then when they see them.

A couple of his friends left knowing the names after spending a few minutes playing with him! I like that they stand up on their own which was a problem with another brand. They would topple over which made it hard for him to arrange them where he wanted them.

They come in a cardboard box that has a plastic handle that he can use as a storage and carrying box which makes it so easy for keeping up with them when he is on the move. They can be cleaned with a damp cloth but FYI – they are NOT dishwasher safe as the box states and should not be immersed in water.

Although they are heavy they are not completely solid. There are places on them that can be depressed by squeezing which makes it very easy for them to be picked up. They do have a plastic smell right out of the box but it was not that bad and my grandson never complained about it at all.

These would make a great gift for a little boy – or girl! – that is fascinated by dinosaurs,too!.

I have a 6 year old daughter. When said daughter was 5, we rescued a trio of sick turkey poults. They were so rough that one didn’t even make it home, and the other passed that night. The sole surviving turkey was my 6 year old’s, who she had promptly named Busy Bee.

Busy Bee grew fast. He grew as tall as my daughter, and the were inseparable– she’d squat in the backyard, arm over his back like a human friend, and just jabber away to him. While we have chickens, the neighbors were not excited about Busy Bee singing the song of his particular people.

So we found a farm sanctuary, and we get occasional updates about him, happily living his life there. But my 6 year old, she has been devastated. So when she saw this weird turkey toy, her eyes welled up, and she informed me that she would like it.

Couldn’t say no obviously, so we brought it home. This dang turkey goes in the bath, to bed, in her backpack, EVERYWHERE, and a month in it’s still holding up. I would never have imagined myself being grateful to a toy company for making a flipping turkey, but here we are.

Parenthood is wild. But this turkey is legit. Super realistic, doesn’t make the neighbors mad, and comforts an odd 6 year old.

Deinonychus antihropus was named in 1969 by John Ostrom and ushered the great Dinosaur Renaissance which raised dragging tails and elevated them from the swamps and unto dry land. Deinonychus reinforces the dinosaur-bird connection with an amazing new figure from Safari Ltd for their 2020 catalogue.

The sculpt is sleek, even statuesque, the figure boasts a look that so resembles a modern raptor one expects to see a beak. Odd to not see the sinewy muscled limbs from other representations but it is a much welcomed change of form, and gone are the dangling arms ubiquitously present amongst all the figures of dromaeosauridae.

The details are subdued, with the tuberculate scales limited to the feet and face, and a first for any “raptor” is the presence of lips in keeping with the latest scientific research. The sculpted feathers are well done, especially on the primary-secondary wing feathers and the tail.

I do like the taloned fingers on the wings just visible under the wings. The pose can also be described as statuesque, evoking the virtues we bestow upon birds of prey. Power, speed, grace, even nobility.

The figure is frozen in step, head turned left, muzzle raised upward which I interpreted as testing the air for scent. The wings tucked tightly against the body. The tail is sculpted down providing support making the figure a classic tripod yet, it works in tandem as a whole.

Think of an actress’s long flowing gown on a red carpet event. Stately, and grateful. The colours again draws inspiration from modern raptors resembling a Hawk, chocolate and cinnamon browns with white markings.

Yellow for the face and feet and a crimson eye completes the pallet. Again, drawn from modern nature, spectacularly subdued. This figure boasts a look consistent with scientific research, and modern aesthetics.

Deinonychus is a prime figure for the dinosaur renaissance, beautifully sculpted, expertly painted, and highly collectible.

Safari Ltd adds Uintatherium to their prehistoric lineup for 2018. This early ungulate that lived during the Eocene was discovered in 1871 by O. C. Marsh in the Uinta Mountains in what is now Utah and may have been the largest mammal in the Americas during that time.

Although somewhat resembling a rhinoceros, Uintatherium anseps was not related to any rhino, being from the extinct order Dinocerata that flourished from the late Paleocene until the Miocene. The sculpt resembles classic paleoart.

The figure is represented without a fur covering opting for a wrinkled hide, from deep lines along the flanks to delicate ones on the face they crisscross the entire figure up to the tail which ends in a tuft of hair.

The details on the head include the distinctive horns, mandible flanges, and long recurved canine tusks. The pose is quite neutral, head high turned slightly to the right, mouth closed, with the left fore paw raised just ever so.

Not dramatic but natural, organic just as nature should be. The colours are consistent with modern large herbivores, pale grey with a light taupe markings. Slate grey hooves, and black for the tail tuft round out the limited hues.

Again, plausible for large grazers that persist to this day. Previous figures have been made in the 60’s and 70’s by Starlux and Ja-Ru but, forty years or so have passed since Uintatherium was released as a figure despite it being an iconic creature from the early Cenozoic and included in so many murals and classic paintings there are woefully few representations available to the collector.

Thankfully now, Uintatherium has been released by GeoWorld, Playvisions, CollectA, and now Safari Ltd. which is recommended for collectors and enthusiasts of prehistoric fauna.

The last time we got this foal was before we started collecting Schleich figures. My sister painted her, as a gift for her friend, but then decided it was bad. So it was sitting in our Schleich bin for years, until I finally decided to wash it.

It grew weird fuzz, so we quit on it. Then, a few weeks ago, I got a new one for my sister! Her name is not decided yet, but she’s really adorable. That whole backstory was incredibly irrelevant but anyway, she’s a very realistic and cute filly.

I purchased this 3 days ago for our 5yo. She had some Easter money saved which was the only reason I let her get such an expensive toy that wasn’t for her birthday or Christmas. She had fun with it for two days before it quit working properly.

Granted, taking it outside to play in dry dirt probably wasn’t the best idea, but dinosaurs do love dirt and the rest of her dinos wind up “playing” in it with zero problems. For parents looking at buying it: I would not recommend your child play in the dirt with it.

The dirt mussed up all of the joints and also changed the sound the toy makes. I would understand if water was involved, but it hasn’t gone anywhere near water. To remedy, I took cannned air and blew the dirt out beteeen the joints and put new batteries in.

While the articulation works ok, the sound seems forever changed, leaving one very disappointed 5yo not happy with the muffled “roar” that now sounds more like the groan of a mom who spent way too much money on a toy.

I recommend skipping this toy.

This is a large dino. The biggest in my son’s collection and one of the favorites amoungst his friends. My son not only loves the realistic noises that comes from this toy, but he loves that he has the ability to open and close its mouth.

He likes to attack the smaller dinos when playing. I do like that you can scan the card that pops up on this toy for more information and such. It is an opportunity to teach more about the T-Rex. We haven’t had to change the batteries and he has used this daily or brought it for playtime with his friends to play with.

This dino is easy for him to hold but has a little bit of weight to it. It’s very durable. Ours has been dropped a few times unfortunately while on the go and it hasn’t chopped or broken. Sounds aren’t super loud but are loud enough for exciting play for any child.

My husbamd even gets a kick out of this toy when he plays dinos with our son. He said the deta on this dinosaur is what makes it “awesome”. My son agrees.

This t-rex has been extremely popular with my 6-year-old, and honestly even a bit popular with his older siblings. It’s very moveable, which is a nice feature, and you can even fit some fairly good-sized items in it’s mouth.

I as a mother appreciate the fact that the mouth has an ending to it and is curved with no sharp edges, meaning while children can stuff things in it, they can’t lose them in there. I suppose it’s possible you could find something that could get stuck due to size, but I think you’d have to be trying to do it on purpose at that point.

My 6-year-old also really appreciates the roaring noise it makes. I will say I could wish that was a bit quieter or had a volume control of some sort, but he’s honestly bright enough to turn it back up himself even if that was an issue.

Ultimately, if you have a big dinosaur (or Jurassic Park/World) fan in your house, this is a great toy for them.

I really loved this playset box of dinosaurs. My daughter loves all things dinos and this made her day. She enjoyed having a whole container just for her dinos and being able to display them while she plays.

I enjoyed it because it comes with dinos and accessories but a place to store them as well. there are 24 dinos and 34 accessories which kept my daughter happy for hours. Recommended for with boy or girl, everyone can have fun playing.

Prehistoric World Toy Dinosaurs Set comes with 60 pieces total. It comes with a bucket & lid to help store in a secure place. It’s for ages 3 & up. The dinosaurs includes a T. Rex, Velociraptor, Triceratops, Stegosaurus, Pterodactyl, miniature volcano, trees, and more! My son plays with these all the time.

My son enjoys pretending they are fighting each other when he plays with his dinosaur. It has fun shapes & colors as well and can be very educational for children too. The set is such a wonderful gift for children’s birthdays or even Christmas.

I highly recommend this product.

The Prehistoric World Toy Dinosaurs Set was a hit as I pulled these out so my little cousins could play with them while babysitting. I think they were a little confused at first as I do not think they knew what they were, they are not even two yet.

However, it did not take them very long to make growling/roaring sounds while playing. It was too cute! As they were playing I tried my best to make it a learning experience too by saying the names as they played thanks to Google.

The dinosaur set is a great, fun and imaginary toy set.

My now 4 (about to be 5) year old son has had this dinosaur since he was 2 and a half. He LOVED IT SO MUCH. I don’t know why people are writing these negative reviews. just like ANY toy, if you don’t take care of it, it will break or eventually stop working.

The neck on this toy broke because my husband accidentally stepped on as it was hiding under a pile of clothes. My son would throw it around and play rough with it too, so it eventually broke. And because the neck was flopping all over the place, it stopped roaring as well.

When it stopped doing all that we decided it was time to get rid of the toy and now that his fifth birthday is coming up he has been wanting another indominous Rex like this one and we will be getting it for him again! Thank you for this wonderful toy that has been almost like a stuffy for my son.

He is obsessed and it makes me happy to see him so happy!.

Fabulous value for money, keeps my 5 year old grandson entertain. Indominus Rex is also featured in a Jurrasic movie and my grandson could relate to his toy being in the movie and the explanations given.

I. E. length of the dinasaur its favourite food and the fact its a chameleon he found astonushing. If you are doubting to purchase dont doubt any longer. The only fail if the toy is that its not able to swallow figures or small dinasaurs like his other Jyrrasic dinadaur but the red lights for his neck are based in the throat, possible design fault but dont let this stopyou from purchasing.

Thsnk uou for reading my review.

My son has had 2 of these because they are his favorite dinosaur. A few months after receiving the first one it started beeping instead of roaring and stopped making the eating noise. He was heartbroken so he received another one the following Christmas.

The 2nd one has since started having the same issue. I had hoped it was a 1 time problem but after having 2 and reading other reviews it seems to be a know issue. For a $50 dinosaur I would expect better and that known issues like this would be recalled and corrected or refunded.

Or at least the issue would be fixed with newer ones and not continue to sell ones that are going to break.

These dinos are adorable and look great for the price! Especially the Parasaurolophus and the Triceratops. A good variety was sent. My five year old son was thrilled with them. I’ll likely buy a few more to grow his collection.

We purchased these online as a Christmas gift to our 2 year old son. He loves dinosaurs and he loves this set. The value was great. The pieces are really study. I’m sure he will have these set for years to come.

They arrived in a small box wrapped in a plastic bag. We were surprised they all were in there. My husband was expecting Jumbo sizes (not sure what his definition of jumbo was), but these are more medium fat pieces that are too hard to squeeze.

Some of the ones with shorter necks, you can probably fit two of them on a 4×5 picture. Individually none of them are bigger than a 4×5 picture. Some of the tails and horns are really sharp–mainly from the paint job.

Overall our 2 year is satisfied with his set.

These dinosaurs are good for pretend play. I bought them for my nephew recently as a Christmas gift. He like them okay enough. He’s 2 years old and uses them with his pretend/imagination play. He also likes to play with them during bath time.

A couple of the dinosaurs have red painted eyes, which was kind of freaky but it didn’t seem to bother my nephew. Wish they had the names of each dinosaur on the bottom or in the package. That would be a nice addition.

My Son unwrapped this today (Christmas morning) only for me to discover after taking it out of the packaging that it was broken. You can hear parts rattling inside of it. It does not stomp and roar the way it should.

I’m very disappointed. His friend has one that broke a couple of months after playing with it. I wish my Son would have at least had that long to enjoy it working properly.

Very sturdy & well made Dino! My daughter absolutely loved it for one of her gifts for Christmas. It is her first Dino. It exceeded our expectations. It has such realistic sounds and is very entertaining to play with.

She loves to make him roar and twist his tail for the stomping feet effects. 5 stars. Highly recommend.

These are really nice dinosaurs. The quality is great and the dinosaurs are a nice variety. My grandson was so excited to get an elasmosaurus. We would definitely recommend these to anyone who loves dinosaurs.

Fantastic set of dinosaurs at a great price. They look great, stand correctly & can withstand rough handling by a toddler. Nice size & weight that our 2. 5 year old should enjoy for a long time. I love that each one has the name printed in a tiny, inconspicuous spot on the bottom! ONLY complaint with this set is the absence of tyrannosaurus rex.

Regardless, 5 stars!.

These were perfect as favors for my son’s 3rd birthday party. I put them in a big basket along with some dinosaur lollipops and let the kids pick out what they wanted. They loved it! The dinosaurs are a good size, colorful, and there is a nice selection of different types.

I was very happy with them.

I have purchased a few sets for the T-Rex , it’s my sons favorite toy (he won’t sleep without it) so we have a backup should it get lost. Wish they were sold separately. My son has had this Dino for 2 years and takes it EVERYWHERE still holding together nicely.

So whoever said poor quality is wrong. These are durable. Would recommend.

Super cute stuffed dinosaurs. I got these for my niece (2 1/2 years) who is just starting to get into dinosaurs. She absolutely loves them. They seemed to be well constructed of quality materials. Very soft, bright colors, plush but still shaped realistically (not cartoonish).

Perfect product, great sellers, great transaction.

I ordered this toy to play with my daughter. She loves dinosaurs and dragons. She often plays with them in her sensory bin, or in the bath tub. This brontosaurus was the perfect size for her. Not teeny tiny, and not too large.

She has had it for quite a while now, and it’s often one of her go to hands in imaginary play items when she gets home from school. It’s a hard plastic dinosaur toy, so I don’t have to worry about water getting inside and causing mold or bacteria to grow inside of it.

Once she’s done playing with it I either wipe it down with a disinfectant wipe, or pop it in the bleach bath with other toys. It’s definitely one of her favorite toys, and I’ glad I ordered it. No loud obnoxious roars, or flashing lights to over stimulate or upset her or any other child.

Makes a great toy for most kids on the Autism spectrum.

Overall this is a great set! The animal figures are always great quality – detail, likeness, heft, solid! The hutch is very realistic. It has many moving parts with doors and latches. The doors and pen are a bit flimsy and can be broken by little hands that aren’t patient enough to take their time with attaching/detaching parts.

Ours did end up breaking, but a little super glue will fix it I think. Great toys for fostering imagination! Last forever, can be passed down to generations! Quality products, very detailed and realistic.

Educational value is top notch. Can be used in just about ANY teaching moment – math, science, social studies, social skills, community!.
