Create A Kid’s Dinosaur Garden

Plastic dinosaurs of all shapes and sizes are a favourite toy and can help create a fantastic opportunity for kids garden adventure play by making a prehistoric themed garden.

• In a sheltered part of the garden, use pebbles to create a small riverbed. You can even paint some pebbles blue or use blue coloured gravel.
• Surround the riverbed with Jurassic looking plants like mosses, ferns, small palms and grassy plants such as mondo grass or liriope.
• To get the kids involved and engaged, take them along to the garden centre and they can choose a few of their favourite dinosaur garden plants.
• Add a few larger rocks and some small logs and then place the dinosaurs in amongst the plants and on the rocks.
• Hang some flying pterodactyls from larger plants or stakes for an extra prehistoric touch.
• Kids will love playing with their dinosaurs in this magical outdoor space.

You can also create a smaller dinosaur garden in a terrarium, with compact plants, small rocks and pint sized dinosaurs, which is ideal for a child's bedroom.
