Earlier this year, someone on this site clued me in to a fantastic plush raptor. I immediately bought it for my niece and was SO EXCITED. My niece LOVES dinosaurs and we'd been talking about how birds are the descendants of dinosaurs. The raptor had feathers and was perfect.

So I bought it and had it shipped to my niece and continued to be gleeful in anticipation. Niece was going to love it. And then her mom (my sister) called me and said she thought it looked too scary and didn't think she should give it to Niece. I didn't think it looked scary; I thought it looked cool. But I'm a 40 year old weirdo and I'm not Niece's mom. I'm not the best person to judge what's appropriate for a four year old. I certainly didn't want Niece to be scared. I said okay and asked for it to be sent back to me. I planned to name it "Hope" (after "hope is the thing with feathers") and put it in my office.

Well, life happens and Sister still hadn't gotten around to shipping it to me. Today, Niece accidentally found it and LOVED it. I got a call from them and Niece asks if she can keep the dinosaur. I was confused - I've gotten her a bunch of dinosaurs and they're all clearly hers. While I've let her play with mine in the past, they always come home with me. We're all on the same page about whose dinosaurs are whose. So I explain that any dinosaur I've given her is hers. Sister then explains what happened. I say of course Niece can keep the dinosaur!

Throughout the day, I've gotten pictures from Sister of Niece with this dinosaur. She's roaring with it, it eats meals with her, she's drawing pictures for it. Apparently, it even Skyped with Grandma (my mother). I just got a text from Sister that Niece fell asleep cuddling it.

Anyway - if Raptor Recommender is out there - please know that this child is so incredibly happy and loves her plush velociraptor. It has been her favorite gift that I have sent her. Thank you for posting your raptor story so I could learn this existed. :)

random question!! whats your fav dinosaur and color :)

OUH Uhmm!!! I'm not too knowledgable abt dinosaurs but!! Big fan of Parasaurolophus... I think their crests are really funky and cool & i like that they're both bipedal and quadrupedal. Also a big fan of Brachiosaurus (big fuck!!) & Velociraptors (small fuck) (also shoutout to Quetzalcoatlus. They're a pterosaur but i love how fucked up their proportions look 😭 my fave prehistoric reptile)

My favorite color!! I'm one of those "every color is my favorite" people 😭 but I always answer Purple or Green! Purple has the widest range of shades that I like and I really like the character that bright punchy greens have 💚💚 big fan of leaves and nature also

Thanks 4 the ask!!!!!💗💗💗💗

Whose 9 year old named this dinosaur

The dino benches are super cute. The angle is a little weird, though. And there's other seating if you're scared of dinosaurs. Looks like there's non-dino flat benches in the back on the right and a raised stone bench / retaining wall area on the left with grass and trees. I'm a little worried that there's no arm rests on any of the seating areas, though. It might be difficult for people with mobility issues to stand back up. Super cute for in front of a dino museum, though! And I totally want one.

I had this idea for a silhouetted chicken ages ago and finally found time to finish it.

If you love the fluffy dinosaurs we still have you can find this on Redbubble, Teepublic, and Threadless

we in the industry call that a freudian slip.
