| | | Description: | | Assembled size: 13 inch long. Sure, kids can learn about dinosaurs in books and in their science classes, but there is something about hands-on learning that really drives the lesson home. Besides making a beautiful model, builders learn about the animal's anatomy, diet, habitat, and more. The completed models are so striking that it may be the adults who insist on acquiring the whole collection to display in the living room. You can paint or stain your model before or after it's finished. This is a great project for parents and kids to work on together. | | | Features: | |
• Ages 7+
• Measures: 9.5"H X 8"W X .5"D
• ***WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small parts NOT suitable for children under 3 years.

A lot of fun for a little priceApr 30, 2000
The entire dinosaur model series by Action Products is outstanding. The assembly of the kits is simple and straightfoward and next to impossible to mess up. Once assembled, the figures are quite substantial so make sure you have plenty of available shelf space on which to put them because your children will probably want the entire series. The assembled dinosaurs look fine in their unfinished wood form, but they look fantastic if they've been painted. A fluorescent lime stegasaurus? A cherry red tyrannosaurus? A black-and-white triceratops? The color is entirely up to you. Spraypainting is definitely the way to go, but if you want your child to have a more hands-on experience you can allow them to use a paintbrush to decorate their creations. And the great thing is they can repaint the dinosaurs a different color whenever they tire of the old colors. Total assembly time (including the time it takes for the glue and paint to dry) will vary according to the age of the child, but the average time will be about 5 hours (which can be spread over a couple of afternoons). Paints, paintbrushes (if used), and wood glue are NOT included in the sets so you'll have to purchase them seperately if you don't already have them in your household. Amazon recommends these model kits for ages 7 and up, but they're also appropriate for 5- and 6-year-olds (provided they don't decide to have dinosaur "wars" which, in that case, you'll have to do some regluing).
Surprisingly toughJan 14, 2008

I bought this product to conduct an official toy review of it for my personal site and for the $3.99 I paid for it, I quite honestly expected it to be flimsy and worth only the $3.99 I paid for it; however, I was pleasantly surprised.
The toy comes packed as pre-cut pieces on a wooden "page" and the pieces pop out easily in order to assemble the toy itself. I expected the pieces to be difficult to push out of the wooden "page"; however they weren't, nor were they thin flimsy pieces that snapped in a heartbeat. The pieces withstand quite a bit of playing around and slotting together the wrong way around etc. The toy is also pretty easily constructed and much larger than expected when it is complete. As another review above also states, the toy can be customized with paint as well which is a huge bonus as far as i'm concerned because it allows kids to put their own touch on to it.
I highly recommend this toy for anyone, child or grown up alike, for under $5 you get craft time, educational value, amazing durability (assuming you are not smashing these together in play) and creativity.
