Happy Dinosaur Day! A day to celebrate our fantastic fossilised friends! Did you know...
🦖 Dinosaurs are a group of reptiles that lived on Earth for a period spanning 245 million years. When the T-Rex roamed the Earth, well-known dinosaurs such as the Stegosaurus and Brontosaurus were already fossils beneath its feet!
🦕 Just like our dinosaur mosaic kits, dinosaurs are thought to have been extremely colourful, like the Sinosauropteryx, which is thought by experts to have had an orange-and-white striped tail!
🐲 Not all dinosaurs were supersized! The Microraptor was a tiny carnivore which was small enough to hold in an adult’s hands. (Fun bonus fact... it also had flight feathers on both its front and rear legs, which would help it to glide from branch to branch!)
🦕 Dinosaurs really did dominate the world, fossils have been found on all 7 continents!
🦖 There are over 700 known extinct species of dinosaur with new species being discovered on average once every week!
Feeling inspired to make your own dinosaur?! Our fun mosaic kits are perfect for dinosaur fans both young and old! Find the kits over on my website www.craftyyoucraftyme.com
