Play Guide:

12+ months

• Let your child explore the toy and find out which features move and make a sound - if necessary assist and show them all the moving, clicking parts.  
• Ask your child simple questions such as 'can you make the head move?  
• Show them pictures/photos of dinosaurs in books and encourage them to recognise the similar features of image and toy.  
• Talk about the dinosaur in terms of size, colour, sounds they might have made and features like claws, wings, spines, tails etc  
• Encourage imaginative play in combination with other items from the First Friends collection. 

18+ months

• Introduce vocabulary such as ‘sitting’ ‘running’ ‘roaring’ etc according to the different actions and sounds the dinosaurs can demonstrate as you play together.  
• Talk about dinosaurs and explain that we don't see dinosaurs anymore but they once lived on earth before humans did! 
• Talk about what the dinosaurs might have been like - share simple knowledge such as the T-Rex was very fierce, the Pterodactyl could fly and the Brontosaurus liked to eat leaves and trees. 
• Ask your child if he or she has a favourite dinosaur and find out what he or she likes about that one. Encourage your child to talk about the dinosaur's different features and abilities.  
• Encourage lots of pretend play with the dinosaurs, letting your child take the lead, but assisting with ideas if necessary. "
