Description
This tyrannosaurus 3D wooden puzzle turns flat sheets of pale, pre-cut wood into a standing dinosaur skeleton you build yourself. The box counts 29 pieces, each pushing out of its sheet ready to slot into place: the big skull with open, toothy jaws, the curved ribs, the short clawed arms, the strong legs and a long ridged tail. Finished, the model measures 24cm tall, 28cm long and 7cm wide, a good size for a shelf, and it weighs just 60g. The wood is left in its natural pale tone, which gives the skeleton a clean, museum model look.
A bookshelf, a desk, a windowsill or a chest of drawers in a bedroom or study all make a fine home for the finished dinosaur. The build is half the fun: a calm, hands-on project for a rainy afternoon or a quiet evening at the kitchen table, ending in a model worth keeping on show rather than tidying away. Lay out the sheets, follow the steps and watch the tyrannosaurus take shape rib by rib. It sits happily beside books about prehistoric life, too.
The pieces are cut from thin wood with notches that lock them together, and a paper instruction sheet takes you through the build in four numbered steps, with diagrams of the pieces so each part is easy to match to its place. Ease every piece gently from its sheet and line up the slots before pressing them home for neat joins. Once built, dust the skeleton now and then with a soft dry cloth and keep it away from damp. Arriving in an illustrated card box that is easy to wrap, it makes a thoughtful gift: an afternoon's making and a model to keep long after.
