only got halfway through the alphabet on the nhm website but it looks like this to me. Great half term activity to I’d it!

Iguanodon says my six year old professor palaeontologist DD.

Looks like one that stands on its back legs but no idea what. I bet theres a reddit board you could ask though!

Iguanadon on or Gallimimus or some generic dinosaur shaped cartoon.

Maybe it’s not an actual dinosaur just a generic one.

I'd say its a badly drawn Iguanodon. Iguanodons have beaks and thumb spikes.

Front legs too short.
