How to Select Dinosaur Puppets

Next time you visit a toy store or online retailer to find dinosaur related toys for your children or friends, don't go with the traditional dinosaur mini replicas or inflatable toys. Instead, try something slightly different and more interactive--dinosaur hand puppets. Dinosaur puppets enable kids to bring their dinosaur friends to life and insert more personality and imagination into their playtime.

      Select a Pteranodon hand puppet. The Pteranodon was a flying reptile that is believed to have lived during the Cretaceous period. An interesting fact about the Pteranodon that can spark discussion and stimulate learning is that while it existed during the time of the dinosaurs, it is not really considered to be a dinosaur.

      Consider a Tyrannosaurus Rex hand puppet. This bright, multi colored hand puppet is always a favorite. T-Rex is a perennial favorite among kids and adult dino enthusiasts alike. And it's no wonder, as the Tyrannosaurus Rex was a huge meat eating dinosaur the reached lengths of over 40 feet and had enormous teeth that it used to tear giant chunks from its prey.

      Order a Velociraptor hand puppet. The Velociraptor is another all time favorite dinosaur that reached new levels of popularity after its prominence in the Jurassic Park films. The Velociraptor was a highly intelligent dinosaur that hunted in packs and could reach speeds of 40 mph. That is about twice as fast as the fastest human sprinter. Velociraptor hand puppets are cute and cuddly, a far cry from the real thing.

      Create an entire world of dinosaurs right in your own living room by ordering each of the different available puppets. Your kids can create puppet shows with plant eating and meat eating dinosaurs and imagine their own worlds of long ago, just like scientists do today.

      Choose dinosaur hand puppets that are machine washable. A wide range of dinosaur hand puppets are available at StoreforKnowledge.com, each is about 10 inches long and they are brightly colored to appeal to the eyes of children (see Resources below).

Tips & Warnings

  • Select one of each available dinosaur hand puppet and create an entire world of prehistoric characters right in your own living room.

  • Make sure your kids pick up after themselves. Dinosaur puppets are not meant to be left outside. Unlike hard plastic dinosaur toys, exposure to the elements can quickly ruin soft hand puppets.
