Bring the Jurassic Age to Life with Stikbot Dino Eggs and Mega Dinos

Fascination with the powerful and dangerous creatures from the Jurassic period will never go away. We are caught up in their power as children and the fascination with these creatures continues to develop as we grow into our teens and adulthood. We find them in movies, cartoon, books  and  even in popular toys.

Stikbot figures are super cool and easy to use for all ages figures that have suction cups on their hands and feet with bendable bodies. The bendable bodies and suction cups allow children (and adults) to create their own still scenes and live action, which can be brought to life using their free app. Bonus – you can even add in sound for even more creativity in the app. Children become the director and producer of  their own creative play.

Stikbot has introduced a line of dinosaur figures to expand your child’s Stikbot collection – from dinosaur eggs to mega dinos to even a dino set that helps to really bring to life their action scene. Your child has the ability to gather a group of dinosaur friends (or maybe even enemies – the choice is theirs!) for hours of creative play.

There are seven Stikbot Dino eggs to collect – from the Stikpterodactyl to Stikstegosarus to the terrifying Stikparasaurolophus. Your child will learn about these fantastic creatures – important physical features and when they roamed our planet, which helps prompt further learning either online or at the local library. Your child can create an epic battle or perhaps a peaceful gathering of the gentle giants. The possibilities are endless and creates hours of play and learning.

Also part of the Stikbot Dino collection, are three mega dinos – the StikBrontosaurus (featured above), the StikCarnotaurus and the StikTRex. These dinosaurs are larger than their dino egg counterparts. They can be the protectors of their smaller friends or perhaps a great enemy?

We loved how easy it was to create either stills or action scenes. The figures are easy to put into place, the arms/legs are attached to the body with an elastic like string and the suction cups attached easily to both the previous Stikbot set we had and our table and hardwood floor. The StikBrontosaurus came with its own background (featured above) and we used that to create a backdrop for our son’s pictures. I liked how he was able to incorporate his other Stikbot figures into the scenes (he created his own version of the popular Jurassic movies). One of the best parts is that the Stikbot dinosaurs encouraged additional learning, my son wanted to learn more about the dinosaurs he was playing with. We pulled out his dinosaur books from his library and were able to incorporate educational facts into the play. A win win for any parent!

The Stikbot Dino characters can be seen in the Dino Planet series, check out the trailer below.

Stikbot Dino eggs and Mega Dinos can be purchased from Amazon and Walmart and will make a great addition to stockings and dinosaur themed Christmas gifts this holiday season.
