Theo’s dinosaur is made of felt, which is the right material for a one-year-old. A green stegosaurus with stitched plates walks along the bottom of the card, a small volcano puffs in the corner, and felt leaves and linen strips frame the sides, with the title stitched in dark green.
It is a dinosaur card without a single cartoon tooth, soft enough for the baby and handsome enough for the mantelpiece. Toddler cousins will recognize the dinosaur from across the room, grown-ups will notice the stitching, and the green goes with almost any tablecloth you already own.
Plan a playroom party: green balloons, a dinosaur egg hunt with plastic eggs, a volcano cake with a fizzing top, and dino-shaped sandwiches. Felt dinosaur masks for the older children cost nothing to make and show up in every photo.
