Plastic Skeletons for Halloween or Education

Dilophosaurus Plastic Skeleton at Tapir and Friends

The thigh bone's connected to the knee bone; the knee bone's connected to the shin bone...and we try not to think about it too much otherwise we start imagine our skeleton moving around inside our skin and get freaked out (or maybe that's just me). With the school year now in full swing and Halloween right around the corner, our skeleton and skull section is a great place to visit this time of year. Whether you're looking for tools for learning or spooky decor, we've got you covered!

About Pachycephalosaurus

Dinosaurs represent the dominant terrestrial lifeforms on planet Earth for 135 million years, from the beginning of the Jurassic period through the end of the Cretaceous period approximately 65 million years ago. While no human ever lived during the age of dinosaurs, modern palentologists have learned much studying the fossilized remains of these magnificent creatures.

Pachycephalosaurus is best known for a characteristic dome of bone crowning its skull. This dome can be as much as 10 inches thick. The purpose of such a formidable helmet of bone is still being debated by paleontologists. It's been suggested that pachycephalosaurus competed with each other by cracking their heads together in much the same way modern mountain goats do, in which case the thick dome of bone would be necessary to protect pachycephalosaurus's brain. Pachycephalosaurus was believed to be up to 15 feet long and weighed almost 1,000 pounds.

Stegosaurus had a distinctive and unusual posture, with a heavily arched back, short forelimbs, head held low to the ground and a stiffened tail held high in the air. It was thirty feet long and fourteen feet tall. Many skeletal remains have been found in Wyoming.

Dinosaur gifts for everyone!

Dinosaurs never lose their appeal or their popularity. They seem to fascinate everyone, and we carry dinosaur gifts for "children" of all ages! The dinosaur dinking cup above is for toddlers, but I know one child who has not advanced to drinking cups yet, but loves to hold them by the handles and bang them together. Since they are durable, this works well for everyone :)

Our dinosaur bones (or fossil) model will be fun for older children or teens and older who simply want to enjoy learning and looking at the way the bones fit together. It's a bit too simple to be called a puzzle, but as a model it can decorate a classroom or bedroom or den very nicely. Shown here is our t-rex, but we have others, too.

We love our colorful Pteranodon hand puppet, and we think you will, too! It's made for smaller hands, so is perfect for children and adults with small hands!

The Iguanodon dinosaur above is just one of the four species of dinosaur 3D puzzles we still have left in stock. Order today, they are becoming extinct rather quickly!
