Fisher-Price Imaginext Ultimate Dino

If your child wants to experience what days were like when dinosaurs roamed the Earth, this robotic dinosaur toy will give them a great example. He is 27 inches tall and made of green and yellow plastic parts. Spike (that’s his name) comes to life at the mere touch of a button. They are very well-organized buttons, too, with pictures on them so kids will easily be able to tell one function from another. The remote to operate this toy requires three AA batteries (not included) and is constructed to a kid-friendly size. Spike walks and can swing his neck around. He also can roar, snort, and growl.

D-Rex Interactive Dinosaur

He may look a little scary at first (after all, aren’t dinosaurs supposed to?), but once you get acquainted with this fun-loving example of robotic dinosaur toys, you’ll find out he has a sense of humor. Scratch the back of his head and he’ll be your friend for life. His rubbery skin will let your little one get a reptilian feel for what the creature’s skin might have felt like back when dinosaurs walked the Earth. One of his most popular features is that he can act as a guard to your child’s bedroom or play room. He has a noise sensor that can detect “intruders” and he’ll let you know if one is nearing the room.

Playskool Kota My Triceratops Dinosaur

This happy-faced dino is sure to be a favorite of every child. Your child can actually ride atop this toy! He can carry a child up to 60 pounds in weight. He gives a bouncy ride, and if you touch his nose with your hand, he will give it a sniff! He’ll also pretend to eat if you give him his green food to munch. He’s soft and furry, and kids will love to cuddle with him. He even blinks his eyes and can move his head and tail. Four different adventure theme songs are recorded to be played for your child as well. He needs six “D” size batteries (not included) to operate his powerful functions.

Mattel Screature

Robotic dinosaur toys can be scary, friendly, or fun. This version is all of those things, but you do have to know how to handle him. Pet this 12-inch creature in the right place (on his back, along his tail) and you will have won him over. Try petting him on his head and you may end up jerking your hand back from that large mouth. He won’t really bite, but he’ll act like it! An infrared sensor helps this little monster know when to attack and where. If you make him mad, the frills around his face will stand up on both sides.

Fisher-Price Spike Jr.

This toy is a miniature of the original version and kids will love being able to make him roar, sniff, laugh, and yawn. The sound of his roars can make you and your little one think you have wandered back in time – he sounds real! He walks all on his own, too. He needs two AA batteries to operate and they are included. He stands 9 ½ inches high and is 14 inches long. When he walks, you know it’s a dinosaur walk. He’s a well-made dino and stands the durable test of time against kid-wear. This toy is recommended for children ages 3 to 8 years.

Pleo Dinosaur

This toy is extremely unique and, now, apparently extinct, like the real thing. The toy’s manufacturer recently filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy; therefore, the toy is no longer in production. However, if you are lucky enough to find one of these exquisite products, you won’t believe your eyes. This amazing, friendly, and very curious dino has a sensory system that would lead you to believe it is literally out of this world. Forty sensors work together to interact with your child and the environment in which he is placed, and also to be able to express emotion. He explores his surroundings and can seemingly learn from his experiences.

This selection of robotic dinosaur toys offers a sampling of the great variety of features available in some of the most popular toys on the market. Each has characteristics and technology that make them appealing to a child. The toy can be a friend, as well as a learning experience.
