Roar, dance and laugh with the innovative Learn & Dance Dino. This clever dino introduces the STEM basics of coding, movements, cause and effect as well as emotions and fine motor skills. He comes with three emotion tiles (happy, angry, sleepy), three music tiles (hip hop, marching, ballet) plus three-character tiles (dinosaur, robot, and monster).

Mix and match them to create 27 different combinations of emotions, music styles and characters such as happy hip-hop dino or angry marching monster. Place the colourful tiles on Dino's back to customise how you want to play with him.

Every time a tile is inserted, Dino moves, sings, dances, talks and encourages children to follow along for gross-motor play. Experimenting with the emotion tiles helps children build social and emotional skills. Angry Dino may stomp around or say, "Let's practice calming down," helping children learn that there are many ways to express feelings. When playtime is done, store the tiles in the dinosaur egg.
