Dinosaur Magnets | Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle | Wood Magnets

Twenty-one wooden dinosaur magnets, made with palaeontologist Ronan Allain of the Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle in Paris, who discovered the Pyroraptor in Provence. They turn a fridge door into a prehistoric museum.

Each dinosaur comes with its own fact sheet: where its name comes from, why some had feathers and others horns, what the long necks and tails were for. Children move, group and rearrange the dinosaurs, set up exhibitions and quiz the grown-ups.

Sorting and arranging is calm, focused play, and the sheets give parents real answers to real questions. The wood stands up to years of handling.

Pairs with the Zoological Magnets from the same museum collaboration.
