Do you want to get your child an extra-large plush dinosaur that he or she can use as a pillow? The Melissa and Doug Cuddle Dinosaur resembles a triceratops, yet is ultra soft and squeezable.
How is the Cuddle Dinosaur Different from Other Stuffed Animals?
Its four legs and tail make this furry creature more than a pillow, though. In fact, some kids treat it as a pet and get a leash for it.
Note: The triceratops actually comes with its own collar, name tag and adoption certificate. So, it feels like you are adding a new member to the family rather than just buying a stuffed animal.
Really little toddlers can sit on this stuffed dinosaur and use it as a cushion. Think of it as a mini bean bag chair, without the beans.
Unlike a bean bag, however, you can’t unzip an outer cover and throw it in the washing machine. You’ll need to spot treat this plush monster with mild soap and water.
As children grow older, they can lean against the cuddle dinosaur like a pillow. Therefore, they don’t grow out of this toy as fast as they might other stuffed animals.
Note: Measuring about 2 feet in length and 2 feet wide, I’d consider this plush triceratops an oversized stuffed animal. However, it’s not so big that it takes up a lot of space like a bean bag. Plus, it’s small enough that it might be able to travel with you on road trips. =)
