Paint dinosaurs then grow a living prehistoric landscape

This innovative kit combines crafting with gardening as children paint wooden dinosaur figures before creating a living diorama. After positioning their painted creations in the included tin with soil, children scatter wheatgrass seeds and watch their prehistoric world come alive through daily watering.

What makes this kit brilliant is the transformation from static craft to living display, providing instant gratification for young gardeners whilst creating an evolving landscape around their painted dinosaurs. The compact tin format means the finished garden becomes a beautiful decoration that continues changing and growing.

Created by Anne-Clare of Cotton Twist in 2015, this kit reflects her mission to nurture creativity whilst championing sustainable materials. She founded the company to create engaging craft experiences that spark children's imaginations through natural, plastic-free components.

Suitable for children aged 3 years and up.
