Description
This dinosaur names mug is made from glazed stoneware and printed all the way round with friendly pastel dinosaurs, each one labelled with its name. A mint green Tyrannosaurus Rex, a yellow Triceratops, an orange Stegosaurus, a pink Pterodactyl and a long-necked blue Diplodocus wander among green leaves and little tracks of footprints on a soft beige ground. The handle is a pale blue that picks up the Diplodocus. It is a compact mug at 7.2cm tall, 7.2cm wide and 9.7cm deep, a size that suits smaller hands.
We think it is a lovely way to bring a touch of learning to the breakfast table, since every creature comes with its proper name to read aloud together. Spelling out Tyrannosaurus Rex or Pterodactyl turns a morning drink into a little naming game. The gentle colours sit happily in a family kitchen or on a shelf in a nursery or child's bedroom. It makes a thoughtful gift for new parents, and a cheerful choice for a dinosaur fan anywhere from the earliest years up to twelve.
The mug is stoneware with a glazed finish, which gives the print a gentle sheen and makes the outside easy to wipe clean. As general good practice for glazed stoneware, we suggest washing it by hand in warm soapy water and drying it with a soft cloth. For new parents, tuck it into a hamper with a cosy blanket and a favourite picture book. You could also set it out with a dinosaur story at bedtime, so a grown-up can enjoy a warm drink while little ones point out each dinosaur by name.
