This is one of my favorite DIY Easter ideas so far. So many kiddos totally love dinosaurs, so this should be a hit this year. I was inspired to put together dino basket ideas after getting to see the cool Dinosaur figures from Schleich. They are really detailed and many of them have a moveable lower jaw for maximum rawr-worthy fun. Fun fact... Schleich is one of the oldest companies in the world. Originating in Germany, their unique toys are now found world wide!

They are so many if their dinosaur figures that you can include in your DIY baskets including some favorites like Giganotosaurus, Brachiosaurus, triceratops, stegosaurus and the Velociraptor featured in today's fun project.
