Toy Review - Dinosaur Skeleton Kit
As I’m a big fan of the Thames & Kosmos line of science toys, it comes as no surprise that I was impressed by their partnership with National Geographic in this line of dinosaur and fossil kits. The kits are available in all the primary dinosaurs: the stegosaurus, brachiosaurus, the triceratops and of course the Tyrannosaurus Rex. The one I tried out was the T-Rex.
Don’t be fooled by the box as this is actually a pretty small kit. But at about $7-8 US, it’s packed with some great information and a pretty cool model. It came with three dinosaur fact cards and a very detailed fold-out info sheet. This kit actually made my list of the top 12 best selling toys of 2008 (to date, as of July 1st).
If you’ve got a dinosaur fan on your shopping list, you can’t go wrong with any of the Thames & Kosmos Dinosaur Skeleton Kits.
