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!
