knitted dinosaurs

 At Best Years we are huge fans of dinosaur toys and we love the Natural History Museum.  We were so excited when we heard that Dippy the Dinosaur was going on a tour of the UK. 

It will surprise no one to hear that we are trying to cut down the use of single use plastics in our Dinosaur Toys. The back lash against single use plastics has become a talking point both for businesses and consumers this year and we are no exception.

We have had great fun creating a range of dinosaur Christmas decorations and we have been overwhelmed at how popular they have been.

Why is it that people seem to think that girls will only be interested in dinosaurs if they are offered pink dinosaur toys?

If you are looking for dinosaur toys for dinosaur mad kids our dinosaur toys  include everything from T Rex toys to Triceratops toys to Pterodactyl toys and are available to buy online or from lovely independent stores.

We think we have the best Dinosaur toys but now heres our collection of the best dinosaur jokes around. Warning, there maybe a few really bad ones in this lot!

Best Years was set up in 2001 and we have always been conscious of ethical sourcing. We have always known the people who make our toys and we have never gone in search for cheap over ethics. Our concern for ethical sourcing was solidified in 2008 when the financial crisis arrived. Our customers at this time were larger retailers and they all demanded price reductions. Many of our fellow wholesalers managed this by finding cheaper manufacturers. We managed it by finding better customers.

We've got large Dinosaur toys, in fact we've got 3 large knitted dinosaur toys (Titanosaur, Diplodocus and T Rex toys) but now we have Giant Dinosaur Soft Toys.

We have a lot of new dinosaur toys arriving in September 2019, but how do we choose which dinosaurs to make and where to make them?

If your knowledge of dinosaurs stretches to that’s a yellow dinosaur toy and that’s a green dinosaur toy then having a dinosaur mad kid can be difficult. And that’s where our Pterodactyl dinosaur toy comes in.

Our dinosaur toy range doesn’t just include dinosaurs so while we say new dinosaur toy both the Mammoth and Mastodon were actually prehistoric animals living "just" 10,000 years ago. So our Mammoth and Mastodon toys look quite similar as the animals did have a lot of similarities, but have some distinct differences.

When you have something as popular as our T Rex dinosaur toy then its not surprising he gets noticed and then used by people in the media, however this year hes hit the big time! Our t Rex is in Mr Tumble!

Our dinosaur toys are great fun and sturdy enough to withstand the most robust of play. A knitted pterodactyl makes a great dinosaur gift. We are very happy to announce the arrival of ouryellow pterodactyl toys to our large dinosaur toy family.

When we started Best Years we wanted to sell the best knitted baby toys and we only set up a website because that’s what you did. We just wanted to sell our knitted dinosaurs and had absolutely no understanding of SEO, snippets, keywords or meta descriptions because that’s what someone else did.

Whether it's because an older sibling loves Dinosaurs or you are a dinosaur loving household but our baby dinosaur toys are always popular.

It was our agent in Scotland who in January first noticed that the T Rex birthday card in her local supermarket store bore a startling resemblance to our knitted T Rex dinosaur toy. 

Our knitted dinosaur toys and rattles, and our Xmas decorations are made by our long term production partner and trusted friend, YK

Our dinosaur teddies are perfect for dinosaur toys for toddlers because they are robust enough for toddler play but also cuddly when they are tired. And all our dinosaur teddies are machine washable making them the perfect teddy for toddlers everywhere

We all like to give our kids teddies, but why choose a dinosaur teddy instead of a more traditional bear or bunny? Here are 3 reasons why we think a dinosaur teddy is the best choice.

Why do we think that our dinosaur toys for toddlers are such a good idea? Dinosaur toys and Dinosaur teddies are great for all ages but with toddlers they are both fun, and a great way to encourage developmental milestones.
