Please help......Santa has fucked up

[ohfourfoxache]

Ds1 (3) has just written his Christmas list and he cried when I explained that Santa may not be able to get him everything on his (very short) list.

The reason? He’s suddenly decided he’d like a “dinoroar with green balls”

Finally managed to get out of him that he’s seen this on Ryan’s fucking Toy Review, and gently trying to tell a 3 year old that Ryan has different toys because he’s a long way away was met with a little sob of disappointment (he NEVER reacts like this)

So please dear MNetters, I don’t even know where to start and a 20 minute google trawl with DS has revealed nothing.

The whole exercise was a bit of a disaster tbh, especially as the list he has for his 1 year old brother is long and his own is rather short

He’s 3. Is he not likely to have forgotten about it come Christmas, if you lay off the ‘Ryan’s review’ (whatever that is, assume a you tuber or something)?

this one has orange not green balls, but isnt expensive. we had the same problem with my 3 year old son asking for a discontinued toy and although he is 27 now, i remember it well! so much so, we started a bit of a manta to the kids that 'you may think you know what you want, but santa can tell what will be perfect for you, even if you have never thought of it...' www.amazon.co.uk/Cheatwell-Games-54360-Dino-Popper/dp/B004VWLDBS/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=dino+squeeze+popper&tag=mumsnetforum-21&ie=UTF8&qid=1544291117&sr=8-1

Does he mean a dinosaur egg?

He hasn’t seen it since the beginning of October because he kicked me and I had no other punishment left other than saying that the fairies took my tablet to the North Pole because he’d been naughty. Santa will bring it back at Christmas - and I’ve not been kicked since!

Like this from Ryan’s toy review

This want it is??

I wouldn't have said anything as he'll forget exactly what he wanted before Christmas.

Get a large toy dinosaur from somewhere, buy some small plastic ones and then make them a bicarbonate egg using green food dye, give DS a water sprayer with vinegar in and he can hatch' the egg.
I would bundle this up with Dinosaur Zoo and Tyranosaurus drip and some of the 'Dinosaur that pooped....' book series by Tom Fletcher both disgusting and funny at the same time and perfect toilet humour for a 3 year old.

One of the best parts of Christmas is making the impossible presents possible.

I feel your pains. Mine asked for a Jeffy puppet. Just no... Even if I wanted to spend that kind of money on something, just no.

Thank you so much for the suggestions, unfortunately he’s said “no” to each of them.....

Apparently you put the balls in the dinosaur’s mouth and they come out of the bottom. So essentially a shitting dinosaur. Great.

PappaJones I love that mantra - I’m going to pinch it if that’s ok with you?

God I feel like such a crap Mum, the only thing he wants and I don’t know what it is

Holy fuck on a fiddlestick gamerchick I’ve just had to google that - it’s hideous

You just say that Santa cannot bring everything he asks for and leave it at that. On the day he will be distracted and won’t care.

Don't give the impression to him that the Christmas list is some kind of order form! It's just suggestions for Santa.

That’s what we do Orlande, the letter is just ideas of things they might like.

These are probably too young - but the balls do go in the dinosaur’s mouth!

pooping Dino?

or this?

That’s exactly what I did say - “Santa won’t bring you everything from your list but he will bring you some things”. Trouble is that the only things on his list was this and chocolate coins - so you can understand why I’m trying to find this shitting dinosaur!

@Cheekysquirrel I can’t see a link

Dino doo doo?

Little legs reckons it's garby from dinotrucks on Ryan's review

So he gets the chocolate coins and then Santa did bring him something from his list. I honestly wouldn’t stress about it, he will excited by his other presents anyway.

Could it be an egg laying dinosaur? There's a few different ones on Amazon.

Is he sure it’s Dinoroar? I only ask because the toy George Pig gets on Peppa Pig is called Dinoroar. And as far as I’ve searched (because DD wanted one) it doesn’t exist under that name.

Can you see the photos I attached?
They are probably too young to be honest.

You could message the YouTube channel and ask them!

Garby eating rocks I reckon?
