Triceratops

First Friends Triceratops is a poseable dinosaur for children from one to five years. The child clicks its head and tail into position and moves its legs to make it charge, stand or graze. Safe for teething, it starts as something to hold and mouth and grows into a character for dinosaur stories, with its horned head giving children something distinctive to name and describe. At home it plays in the living room; in a nursery or classroom it is made for group play.

How to play and learn

Written by Tolo for parents and early-years staff: what to do with the toy, and what the child is learning while doing it.

2Ask your child simple questions such as 'can you make the head move?
3Show them pictures/photos of dinosaurs in books and encourage them to recognise the similar features of image and toy.

5Encourage imaginative play in combination with other items from the First Friends collection.
18 MONTHS +
6Introduce vocabulary such as ‘sitting’ ‘running’ ‘roaring’ etc according to the different actions and sounds the dinosaurs can demonstrate as you play together.
7Talk about dinosaurs and explain that we don't see dinosaurs anymore but they once lived on earth before humans did!
