Dinosaur Train Dino Poop (Ages 4+, SRP $7.99)
What did the dinosaur eat today? Kids can discover this and more with Dino Poop. Based on the popular PBS kid’s series Dinosaur Train, the kit includes:
  • 1 Pile of Dino Poop
  • 1 Set of toy bones, toy plants or both
  • 1 Container

The soft and pliable dough is stiffer than Play-doh, but still moldable since it is made of modeling compound. Kids can make fossil imprints with the bones or plants which they can dig out of the poop. From there, they can determine what type of dinosaur made the pile. For example, if there are only bones, then the dinosaur was a carnivore. If there are plants, the dinosaur was an herbivore. The color of the dough gives a clue; the herbivore Dino Poop is green while the other versions are dark brown.

Varieties include: Buddy – Carnivore, Tank – Herbivore, and Mr. Conductor – Omnivore.

  1. Dino Poop, really? I suppose boys might get a kick out of it, “Look Mom, Jack gave me poop for my birthday!” I hope the company isn’t thinking of branching out to girls and developing something like Pony Poop or Princess Poop!
