Mr Dinosaur Is Here, and Yes, You Should Buy Two

If there is a Peppa Pig fan in your house, you already know about Mr Dinosaur. He is George's beloved toy. He goes everywhere with George. And when he goes missing, the whole episode stops until he is found.

Now your little one can have a Mr Dinosaur of their own. The Ty Beanie Baby Peppa Pig Mr Dinosaur Large is in stock at Beanie Boos Australia for $69.99. He is bright green, has a friendly face and stands around 40 cm tall. That is a proper armful of dinosaur. Big enough to hug, big enough to spot from across the room.

Here is our honest advice, and it comes from years of serving families: if this becomes the favourite, buy two.

We are not saying that to sell more toys. We are saying it because we have taken the phone calls. A favourite gets carried to the park, to the shops, to Grandma's, into the car and out of the car. Somewhere along the way, one day, it does not come home. The child is heartbroken. The parent is searching online at 9pm hoping the exact toy is still made.

A quiet spare in the cupboard turns that disaster into a shrug. Same toy, same face, ready to step in. Rotate the two occasionally so they wear evenly and both smell like home. Parents who have done this tell us it is the best twenty seconds of forward planning they ever did. George himself would understand. Nobody knows toy loss like George.

Mr Dinosaur also makes a lovely gift on his own. A birthday, a new sibling arriving, a first day of kinder. He is the kind of present that gets remembered.

Beanie Boos Australia is locally owned and family run. We source direct from Ty's authorised Australian distributor, so everything we sell is genuine and new. Standard shipping is free on orders of $150 and over.
