He LOVES Dinosaurs... I need to say this repeatedly... Whatever I buy needs to be dinosaur related, however - he has loved them since he was 2 - he owns almost anything I can think of relating to dinosaurs (and loves it all!)

He has already:

  • Almost all vtech switch n go dinos (including the giant t-rex)
  • a paleontologist kit (made by me last xmas) including bag, outfit, binoculars, fossil hunting tools, fossil specemins
  • about a million toy dinosaurs
  • loads of dinosaur books - both fact and story - he loves them all and reads them regularly
  • Fossil dig kits
  • build a dino type sets
  • dinosaur colouring sets
  • dinosaur bedding
  • dino themed room (pteradactyl light / curtains / giant wall stickers)
  • DVDs - disney dinosaur, walking with dinosaurs, the land before time

He will turn 6 just after christmas, and his interest is NOT waning! I'm running out of ideas so any from anyone else with a dino mad kid would be appreciated!!!

Are you anywhere near the West Midlands? Wrens nest used to be a seabed and is littered with fossilised stuff. Literally every handful of stones reveals at least one fossil. We went for a wander and came back with loads.

No not really, though it is doable... we aren't far from the jurassic coast though and he loves fossil hunting there (particulary the smashing rocks bit!)

Has your son got the wilko dinosaur rider? Where they climb in a T. rex costume? Their legs are the dinosaurs legs if that makes sense.
