Product Description

Product Description

Take a trip back to the time of the dinosaurs. Learn the names of these prehistoric creatures using the helpful key chart in the border of the puzzle. Then see how many of them you can spot in the main picture. The puzzle shows plants, fish, insects and dinosaurs that lived on our planet millions of years ago; they are amazing creatures with strange, long names, although many children will be familiar with some of the more famous ones - triceratops and diplodocus, for example.The puzzle can help with basic literacy and maths skills, by talking with your child about what you can see in the picture. While putting the puzzle together, see if you can identify a flying dinosaur, and one that lives in water; can you spot a creature with spikes on the end of its tail? The finished puzzle measures 60.5cms x 41cms, and has 150 pieces. It is suitable for children aged between 5 and 9 years old. The detailed illustration and higher number of pieces make this puzzle particularly appealing to slightly older children.

I love this 7 Oct 2006
This is great as it has a "key" of the main animals and plants around the edge with their names, sizes and when they were alive. Kids can learn a bit about the dinosaurs from that, but also use it to find the dinosaurs in the picture once they've put it together.

There's a lot going on in the picture, too, so you can spend time talking about which dinos are vegetarian and which meat-eating, etc.

The colours are bright and attractive (although you might have to explain that no-one knows what colours these animals were).

My only suggestion would be that there could be a booklet or something included to give more information on each species, or even a separate book linked to the puzzle (that Amazon could do a deal on if you bought both!).

Dinosaur puzzle 28 April 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase
Durability:    Educational:    Fun:   
I was delighted to receive this 150 piece puzzle. Very informative and attractive. My 3 year old grandson can do it with help and loves the subject matter. He already knows the names of all the dinosaurs on the picture. My 5 year old grandson can do it unaided and loves it. Hopefully there will be more puzzles of dinosaurs as it is a favourite subject of all young children. With the imminent arrival of "Walking with Dinosaurs" at Nottingham and two London venues this summer, I suggest the makers of jigsaws start producing more puzzles and games about dinosaurs!Quickly!!

A lovely puzzle 4 Feb 2009
Durability:    Educational:    Fun:   
We bought this puzzle for my son for his 5th birthday. It has a lovely main picture and has all the names of the dinosaurs next to their pictures on the border. The puzzle pieces are of a good quality and don't seem to suffering wear despite lots of use. The first few times he did it, my son needed help to do the puzzle but he now does it on his own without any trouble. All in all a lovely puzzle.
