My 5-year-old son is OBSESSED with dinosaurs right now. He reads about dinosaurs, plays with dinosaurs, and watches dinosaurs. He regularly spouts off names like Parasaurolophus, Therizinosaurus, and Stygimoloch. I went through my own dino phase wayyyy back in the day, but my expertise didn’t even come close to the wealth of knowledge he’s amassed.
Needless to say, his Christmas presents are going to have a distinct dino theme this year. Our living room is going to be a regular reptile invasion on Christmas morning!
If what I’ve described sounds a lot like your home these days, this is the gift guide for you! Check out these dinosaur-themed gift ideas.
