These crocheted dinosaurs will make great gifts for children. Most children seem to have a natural fascination about prehistoric animals and dinosaurs. Darla and Andrew both loved them and I remember (a long, long time ago…) I loved them too.
Maybe it is because of the children’s shows and dinosaur books we watch while growing up? Do you remember The Land Before Time? My family watched that show so much that our VHS tape broke!
