Long ago, dinosaurs roamed lush valleys filled with ferns, moss, and towering prehistoric plants. Hidden among the greenery were tiny dinosaur habitats where baby dinosaurs played, explored, and rested beneath ancient trees. Today, each young paleontologist is invited to create their very own Dino Garden—a miniature prehistoric world filled with dinosaurs, plants, stones, and treasures. With every mossy path and carefully placed dinosaur, a new prehistoric adventure comes to life.
