Do you think he saurus?

Dinosaur mania has struck me today after a very weird dream where I was waltzing with a velociraptor who was wearing a ball gown. The strangest thing about it was that I couldn't stop thinking "That dress really doesn't suit him. Now if it was green instead of red, he might have got away with it, but red is just to harsh for his skin colour". It's okay. No need to worry. None of the Dinosaurs I have picked to share with you today are wearing a dress, although some are riding a bicycles...

What little boy wouldn't love this personalised Stegosaurus banner from Blueberry Park? Or Girl? Heck, I would be thrilled to have one!

Okay, so I promised no dinosaurs in a dress. How about one in a hat? Tiny Pretty Things' cute little Diplodocus in a top hat is a very suave and gentlemanly.

Narchi created the promised Dinosaurs on bicycles. I think they are Anatotitans, but I could be wrong. Fabby buttons!

Crafty Mizz's beautiful Dino-card has caught my eye. I'd love to receive a card telling me I'm "Dino-tastic". The 2 standing under the Palm tree look like they could be dancing the do-si-do.

Now I would show you Happy Squash Toys' gorgeous wooden triceratops, but I might have to wrestle it of this little boy and that wouldn't be fair. He did find it first!

I think all today's items are Dino-tastic! All are beautifully hand crafted and all of them are great fun. Go forth and see how many other handmade Dinosaurs there are out there. Feel free to leave links to your handmade Dinosaurs in the feedback of this article. I'd love to see them all.

Dinosaurs! WooooHoooo!

Admit it, you love them too. Dinosaurs may have died out millions of years ago, but we are all still fascinated by them. Maybe because they are long gone is why we are so interested in them. From the smallest child to the oldest person on the earth dinosaurs capture our imagination. The variety of shapes and sizes astound us, especially the Massive ones like Tyrannosaurus Rex, Stegosaurus, and brontosaurs. Lots of artisans use dinosaurs in their work. Lets have a look at some.

Love Yu has created this cuddly cute blue patterned dinosaur. He's very stylish and anyone would love to have him as a squishy pal to keep them company. At 14 inches high I'm tempted to buy him to put on my sofa so that when a scary movie comes on the telly I can hug him and he can protect me form all the oogally boogallies.

Just how cute is this? Yes I do mean the baby and the bandanna bib. Kewt Kids made this great dino dribble catcher. The main problem I've found with bibs in the past is that babies have a naughty habit of moving their head to watch the cat go past and they drool past the side edges of conventional bibs. This one, however is beautifully wide. It's sure to keep your babies clothes nice and clean.

Wood, wood, wonderful wood! Eenie Beanie Threads has combined a fabby dinosaur design with one of my favourite materials and created this beautiful jigsaw. This smiling T-Rex looks like he has spotted dinner and is about to go off and catch it. I hope I'm not dinner *gasp*

The Polka Dot Tot Spot's shop is chock full of beautiful soft toys. There are building blocks, soft balls and bunting. These dino blocks would make the perfect gift for a new born. Soft, safe and tactile. There is a matching ball to go with them, which would be great to encourage babies learning to crawl and walk to chase when rolled across the floor.

Sugar and Cream's print made me smile. The little kitty is willing to share her ice cream with the big red dinosaur. Is it just so the dinosaur won't eat her or is it just because she is a kind kitty? I think it's the latter. The print looks utterly stunning when framed (there is a photo in the listing). A perfect picture to hang in a playroom or child's bedroom... or in my bedroom.

I adore all the items I found to day. So much love and care had been lavished on each of them in their creation, how could you not adore them? Go and put "Dinosaur" into the search engine of your favourite handmade shopping site and come back here and leave a link in the comments to the item(s) you most like. Share the dinosaur love!
