Melissa & Doug Dinosaur Stamp Set

This Melissa & Doug Dinosaur Stamp Set is brilliant value for money. There’s a great selection of realistic dinosaurs including Stegosaurus, Triceratops, Pterodactyl and of course T-Rex. And the volcano is a nice touch. As I write this, my toddler and preschooler boys are having a lovely time creating dinosaur scenes with their stamps. My four year old just called me over to say the ‘T-Rexes are surrounded by volcanoes!’ I don’t see how you could fail to get your money’s worth from these. Age 4-8.

Melissa & Doug make excellent quality jigsaw puzzles. The pieces are nice and thick so they actually stay together which avoids frustration. We particularly like this Dinosaurs floor puzzle because it's big. It's three feet long so the kids actually have to move to complete it. And of course, the fierce T-Rex that dominates the picture is a major attraction! Age 3+.
