Stamp, color, and create your own dinosaur-dotted landscapes! When inspiration hits, this simple stamp and pencil set lets budding artists create countless colorful scenes. Some of the biggest names in Dino-dom are here: Tyrannosaurus, Stegosaurus, Triceratops, Pteranodon, Ankylosaurus, Apatosaurus, and Velociraptor. Use the fiery volcano stamp to give them a landscape and then watch as these once-extinct dinosaurs multiply. The set includes five colored pencils for sketching, scribbling, or filling in the details, and two large pads of washable ink--a blessing for parents of the overzealous stamper. All of the included pieces stow neatly in the sturdy wooden storage bin with transparent lid, so artists always know what's available, and can tidy up after themselves when they're done. --Heather Lyndon

A Must Have
By A39N1KSK50J2CP on 2006-04-19
I ordered this stamp set for my 3 year old. I was concerned when I was ordering it that it might not be up to the job of withstanding a 3 year old, due to the low price. When we recieved it, we tore it open to find the box was made of sturdy wood, as well as all the stamps. And yes, the ink really is washable! You just put the stamp under warm water and the ink just rinses away. It comes out of clothing, walls and just about anywhere else toddlers may think to put it. And the rubber stampers that are attached to the wooden blocks are very clear when stamped. There are no broken lines or unwanted blotches. I recently went to a local craft store looking for more stamps and found the prices to be overly rediculous. This kit is definately worth more than I paid. My son asks to play "dino stamps" all the time, and I don't mind pulling it out for him, because it really is washable. The colored pencils are wonderful, as the ink dries fairly quickly, so you can use them to color in the stamped outline. I most definately recommend this to anyone!
Washable? Laughable!

Most of the art supplies I have bought in the past were Crayola, so I'm used to the claim of washability being true. Not so with the Melissa & Doug stamp sets. I broke out a few of the sets as a rainy day surprise this morning for my kids. Because of the claim of washability, I didn't bother to set out a cover on their play table. When the kids were finished playing, their little hands and the table were covered in ink. No biggie. I helped them put their stamps away and then grabbed some wipes to clean their table. That knocked some of it out but not all. Even with a kitchen cleaning spray and then (UGH) bleach water, I could not get all the color off the table. The final straw was when my kids got out of the bathtub this morning (rainy day activity #2, playing sea monsters in the tub) and were still covered in the ink. Obviously, I'm not happy. The stamps are OK (we did get too many square edges included in the image for my taste but my kids didn't care).
I just wanted to warn parents to cover the work space if they decide to purchase this item. I'll do the same until this product runs out and then I'll look for some washable ink that really is washable. The kids did enjoy it so I do think it's a good gift idea. The same could be accomplished by purchasing some individual stamps/ink pads/colored pencils and assembling in a basket yourself. The price on this item is right though. Just beware the stains!
Fun by Messy!

My son has had the Dinosaur Stamp Set for a little over 2-years now, and it's been well used. The box has a label on the outside, which indicates each dinosaur, and has really come in handy for me, as I know very little about the Mesozoic Era. The only shortcoming I've experienced with the Dinosaur Stamp Set is the worthless pencils. The pigment is so hard it doesn't work. I tossed them in the trash after our first play session, and replaced them with our Crayola pencils.
The stamps are nice and chunky for little hands. My son is delayed in fine motor skills, but has no trouble picking these up, and using them. He creates a landscape of plants, mountains, and rocks with markers, and then stamps, stamps, stamps. He actually prefers to color the stamps in with markers, but every now and then I notice he uses the pencils. The Dinosaur Stamp Set makes for a fun, creative time. This can be a messy activity though, so if you're not into using Spray `n Wash on your kids clothes, or spraying 409 on the table after play, you may want to avoid this toy.

dinosaur stamps
By A1LDHIXWC0M4YT on 2007-12-27
Was looking for an art project for one of my grandson's that could "travel".
This stamp kit is very portable, I really like the way everything packs back into it. Good choice of stamps that will provide a lot of story time for the active imagination of my grandson.

i just saw this online but i don't have it! If i had it i think i'd love it.
- Great stamps, worthless pencils!
By A44B0IFN7QNTW on 2007-01-02
My 3 & 4 year olds love the dinosaur stamps- but we're really bummed by the poor quality colored pencils. The quality of the stamps are great and they are washable. But buy your own colored pencils!!!
- Fun stamps

My three-year-old enjoys stamping with her own little box of stamps. The quality of the stamps is excellent. The lines are sharp and the stamps themselves are made of the thick blocks of wood you expect from Melissa and Doug. The rubber parts are attached very well, and the stamps pads included wash pretty well from foreams, fingertips, etc. No, the pencils aren't the best, but honestly, that doesn't matter. The stamps themselves are worth the money.
- Missing one dinosaur stamp set
By A25L828CYTIX6S on 2007-04-03
I would like to rate this item however I never received it; hopefully I haven't been charged for it. I think it would have been a nice gift for my four year old granddaughter. I would appreciate any information as to the whereabouts of my "extinct" gift. Thanks
- Wonderful purchase!

I bought this for my daughter's third birthday, she loves dinosaurs! She asks to bring it out very often... and loves stamping and coloring her creations. She even brought one of her pictures that she made to her class' show and tell at preschool. A wonderful tool for creativity and to keep her busy inside during the winter!
