Why This Brachiosaurus Is So Gentle
The wide smile makes the Brachiosaurus the friendliest giant of prehistoric times. A tall forehead bump and big nostrils on top are signature features that set it apart from other dinos. Big, round shapes are easy to color and cut. For kids five and up, it's a mask that shows giants can be sweet.

Play Ideas for Little Brachiosaurs
In a treetop snack game, everyone stretches up on tiptoe to pick paper leaves from a string hung up high. Take giant, slow steps like a huge sauropod. Use a tape measure to see just how tall a Brachiosaurus was. Then walk in a line like a peaceful long-neck caravan.
Fun Facts About Brachiosaurus
Brachiosaurus lived about 150 million years ago and was one of the biggest animals ever to walk on land. Its name means arm lizard, because its front legs were longer than its back legs. With its long neck, it could reach leaves at the tops of trees – up to about 40 feet high, as tall as a four-story building. Its nostrils sat high on top of its head. It was a peaceful plant-eater that probably spent most of its day munching.
