We are living in an age of wonders. New scientific discoveries have allowed us to push back against the boundaries of what is known and unknown. That knowledge allows us to peer into the vast recesses of the universe – and brings us more understanding of our own planet. Is that why many are fascinated by fossils?
It could be that we, as species are simply curious, but when it comes to dinosaur fossils our imagination tends to turn back the mental clock to a place and time that saw these majestic beasts stride across a planet that was very different. In other words, dinosaurs (and their fossils) are simply fascinating.
So, if you have someone close to you who simply loves dinosaurs here are some great ideas.
Dinosaur Globe
Technology can be the coolest addition for the dinosaur lover. Why not purchase a globe that shows which dinosaurs lived in a specific area prior to their extinction?
Just install the app and get the globe – then aim your smart device and get a full augmented reality experience of the species that inhabited ecosystems around the globe millions of years ago.
This gift will take those (of all ages) through species that were in existence during the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous periods. It will also supply facts to satisfy even the most enquiring minds (of all ages).
For the younger dinosaur lover, there can be very few experiences that are more rewarding than discovering your own representation of those species that roamed the Earth so many millions of years ago.
Dino Egg Kit
The ‘Dino Egg Dig Kit‘ comes complete with a chisel, brush and 12 dinosaur eggs. Chip away and brush clean to discover your very own dinosaur. each is different and comes with an information card that allows you (or the younger generation) to learn more about the specific species.
The combination of education and the thrill of discovery is perfect for the enquiring mind.
Night time is often that time when we allow our imaginations to run wild – and for those who are interested in dinosaurs, a dinosaur nightlight is a perfect addition to the bedroom. It will allow those interested in the long-gone past to slip into a slumber reminded of a planet that played host to some of the most impressive beasts imaginable.
3D Projections
There are a variety of 3D representations of these magnificent creatures that are available in nightlight form, simply choose the species that takes your fancy. They also can include remote controls that will allow the color and brightness of the light. In fact, why settle for one dinosaur?
There are versions that use a laser-engraved optical acrylic plate to display 3D renditions of three different dinosaurs.
Real Fossils
Of course, you could go ‘Old School’ and opt for the gift of real dinosaur fossils from retailers like Fossilicious.com. You’d be surprised at how many places specialize in selling authentic fossil kits and materials.
Dinosaur gifts are perfect for those who find joy in the Earth’s past – and excitement in each new discovery about these wonderful relics of the past. Gift a dino related surprise and experience the true joy of giving.
