Halftoys Dinosaurs! Dinosaur toys with a skeleton puzzle inside!

November 30, 2018November 30, 2018 Dream Team Family1 Comment

I could NOT wait to open these up! OH MY GOODNESS! Cute doesn’t even come close when trying to express how I feel about them! Ha!

Halftoys is a toy company that has launched some dinosaur toys, but these aren’t JUST toys.. they open up to reveal a skeleton.. but not JUST a skeleton, a puzzle skeleton!! How cool is that? It’s super simple, but just what young kids need to kick start learning and playing! These are also magnetic and click when you close them.

They sent us three to review, there are 6 all together. They have future plans for more and not just dinosaurs! Land animals, sea animals and more! I can’t wait to see what they come out with next! The packaging is soo cute!

They each come with a manual and a paper diorama! So when they aren’t in the midst of playing they can be displaying! Ha!

The dioramas are a bit hard to put together, I did them myself and had a little trouble at first, but by the third one, I had it down pat! The trees don’t really stand up well, but it’s just so darn cute and you could really tape everything in place too so it stays together!

Even though the dioramas were a but hard, they were really addicting to make! They stayed in place too for the most part!

I got the trees to stand up! Ha! Aren’t they soo cute! Love how bright and colorful the dinos are. I love how they simplified the design.

This is Ankylo…

..T-Rex..

..and Stego!

Aaron LOVED them! Such a great fidget toy for kids too.. and adults! Ha!

We did this video review on our Toy Crazy Show channel and Thomas helped us out with it;)

( Psst..Check out her page, she makes some amazing confections! She also offers Gluten free and Paleo goodies too!)

This would be such a fun set as a birthday gift or a gift for Christmas!

All the recipes are kid friendly. We made the Banana pancakes. Some of the recipes do require an adult, like when we cooked the pancakes, but all the mixing and fun can be handled by the kiddos 😉 Well.. they might need help measuring and cracking eggs open.. Zieke had no clue! I could tell he loved learning though!

It was really cool to see Professor Maxwell pop up! He explains everything then it takes you to a kitchen were you can then see kids cooking everything up while the Professor explains everything step by step.

We received a “frosty” fun box! They really do put so much work into these! So I can just imagine how much work goes into the actual products!

They sent “snow”.. candy, candy, more candy, shiny snow flakes, and even some ice-cycle ornaments! It was so much fun!

Ok, so more about these awesome Untamed Fingerslings by Wowwee!

I seen the Direwolf at the TTPM Holiday Showcase and FEEL IN LOVE! Oh my! He is way to cool! I love the Sabretooth too! I didn’t even know they had these until we opened this box.

I was taming him! lol

There are two Sabre Tooths: Silvertooth & Bonesaw and two Dire Wolves: Midnight and Blizzard. They make over 40 sounds, they move, open their eyes and chomp their mouths! There is a tamed mode and an untamed mode!
