KitRex: Build Your Own Dinosaur

Imagine if you could create an impressive dinosaur sculpture out of paper, much like the foldable origami, except an extinct dinosaur! Dinosaurs always fascinate kids – you will constantly find kids gathering around dinosaur fossils at museums. I remember when I was a kid, my nursery schools teacher gave us report cards in the shape of dinosaurs, and it was exciting times. There is no doubt that kids would be psyched to build their own 3-foot long dinosaurs.

Bringing Back The Dinosaurs
A KitRex flat packet consisting of specially cut pieces of Bristol board, which when constructed by folding and tabbing, can turn into a 3-foot long dinosaur. Once built, the dinosaur can stand on its feet, and you can decorate it with feathers, googly eyes, and anything you can imagine.
A KitRex’s Purpose In Life
A KitRex has no purpose in life, except for providing children an entertaining and productive way to spend their recreational time. You could see the KitRex as a learning tool, which helps in developing a child’s sense of physics, logical thinking, and creativity.
It Inspires Children
It inspires children to expand their imagination – especially since dinosaurs occupy the space between reality and fantasy. The process of building a paper dinosaur also inspires children to take up such challenges and execute them.
KitRex Past, Present, And Future
The KitRex comes in ten different colors – Blue, Light Blue, Purple, Magenta, Red, Orange, Yellow, Light Green, Green, and Brown. For now, only Velociraptor dinosaurs are in the works, but soon we can expect to see Pterodactyls, Stegosauruses, Brachiosaurs, and even the T-Rex.
