From a very young age, Curly has loved Dinosaurs and knows the names of almost any dinosaur that ever walked (or flew over) the Earth. He will happily sit and watch his way through all of the Jurassic Park films; he can’t get enough.
For those of you who don’t already know it, Jurassic Park is set to be re-released in a 3D format to get you a bit closer to those prehistoric creatures who roamed the earth some 225 million years ago.
Schleich Dinosaurs include the most iconic of those creatures and released them into the wild (more commonly known as shops and the internet) ready for your young (or slightly older) dinosaur fan to discover.
These popular toys are anatomically correct and incredibly life-like, enabling your children to recreate their pre-historic world in their back garden by choosing from a whole pack of hand-painted dinosaurs.
The new stars of the carnivorous collection include the very dangerous Allosaurus, the towering Gigantosaurus, and, of course, what collection would be complete without the most famous dinosaur of them all, Tyrannosaurus Rex!! The King of Dinosaurs T-Rex also features a moveable jaw (kindly demonstrated here by a rather unwilling model).
Suppose your dinosaur hunter prefers the friendlier bunch, then fear not. There are plenty of those to choose from, too, including Brachiosaurus, who, despite being a herbivore munching on plants, still weighed in at 80 tonnes, approximately 16 elephants. He must have eaten a lot of plants!

All little kids, especially boys, love dinosaurs. I remember my own father taking me to both the Natural History museum, and not as well known, the Dinosaurs in Crystal Palace! I was only about 6/7 years old but i recall being impressed by the size of the dinosaurs at Crystal palace, well worth a visit if you have a dino-crazy little one.
