Let's Investigate Tactile Stones - Dinosaur Footprints

These detailed dinosaur footprint stones spark curiosity and imaginative exploration, inviting children to investigate prehistoric life through hands-on play. Each stone features a dinosaur footprint on one side and the matching dinosaur on the other, encouraging children to compare, sort and make connections between tracks and their creators.

Children can create footprint trails, press the stones into modelling dough or use them for crayon rubbings to reveal textures and patterns. These experiences support early investigation skills, as children observe differences in shape and size while developing descriptive language and storytelling. Suitable for outdoor use, the durable resin and stone mix allows for play in mud, sand, water or soil. 

Includes eight double-sided stones, each measuring approximately 70–80mm, featuring Apatosaurus, Deinonychus, Hypsilophodon, Iguanodon, Quetzalcoatlus, Stegosaurus, Triceratops and Tyrannosaurus Rex.
