Articles Announced

My daughter is most definitely a unique spirit. All children are, and there are no two kids that are a like. My daughter likes just about anything you put in front of her, but the things that she ends up picking out as some of her favorite things often surprises me. She goes through phases. Sometimes she likes to have princess stuff, and other times she likes to talk about the Wiggles twenty-four hours later. Lately, she has been asking for dinosaur toys, even though she has never shown an interest any other time in her life.

The dinosaur toys that she wants are the ones that don’t cost that much. They are made of a hard yet somewhat pliable material, and she loves to take them into her bath with her each night. These dinosaur toys are not very expensive. Most of them, for the most part, have cost me less than three dollars each, and they are very durable. They have survived drops down the stairs, soaks in the tub, and one was even run over by our car with very little damage. I was really surprised to find that a three dollar toy survived such damage, and I was relieved that she didn’t have to cry over the loss of one of her favorite toys.

Other dinosaur toys are more expensive, but the look in her eyes when she sees them tells me that they will be worth the cost. There are some that are automated, and there are some that are huge and stuffed. I guess if she wants to get a few dinosaur toys for Christmas and she plays with them as much as she plays with the ones that she already has, it will be a good investment. Though I haven’t really found anything educational yet, I am still looking.

Other dinosaur toys come from television shows. For some reason, many children like dinosaurs, as so many shows have them. Barney may be the most popular choice, but he is becoming old news. The most popular one seems to be Dorothy from the Wiggles, and there are many things you can buy that have her on them. You can find dinosaur toys just about anywhere, and they don’t have to cost you a lot of money. They are a part of the history of our world, and they may be the gateway to open up a discussion about our world that may get your children interested in learning more.
