Jurassic times call for Jurassic measures!
Dinosaurs are endlessly fascinating and it’s about time we give them the respect they deserve for National Dinosaur Day — which actually takes place on not one, but two different days for double the fun (May 15 and June 1). These ancient beasts are so cool that we’ve rounded up some of the best dinosaur toys for all ages to keep the whole family entertained even after the double holiday comes and goes.
Kids can cruise the sidewalks on dinosaur-themed ride-ons, crack open surprise-filled dino eggs, get to know adorable dinosaur pets, cool off with a ginormous T.rex sprinkler, and more. Read on to check out our picks for the most dino-mite toys to enjoy all summer long! Plus, check out a sneak peek of Squeakee Dino from Moose Toys, coming this fall.
