Lego Dinosaurs Part 2

These are some Lego dinosaurs I built. I knew how to build the Pteranodon because I looked in a Lego book I have called The Lego Play Book. 

It shows the Lego Pteranodon taken apart so you can see the pieces you need to build it.

A Pteranodon was flying reptile not a dinosaur. Dinosaurs only lived on land. No dinosaurs flew. But flying reptiles lived at the same time as dinosaurs. A Pteranodon was a flying reptile that had a crest like a Parasaurolophus.

I figured out how to build the other Lego dinosaurs on my own. I have built Lego dinosaurs much bigger than the biggest dinosaur in these pictures.

On the Omeisaurus I used minifigure legs for the neck. It makes the neck flexible.

 A Parasaurolophus had a crest on its head. There may have been skin hanging from the crest. It was probably brightly colored and used like a flag.

A Triceratops had three horns and a frill.

Brachiosaurus was one of the largest sauropod dinosaurs. Brachiosaurus had a crest on its head. The crest was not in the same shape as the Parasaurolophus or Pteranodon's crests were. The Brachiosaurus's crest was just like a bump on its head. The crest on this Brachiosaurus is made out of two Lego pieces. The pieces are the same kind of piece but they are different colors.

The North American Museum of Ancient Life (in Utah)

These are pictures from a museum in Utah called the North American Museum of Ancient Life.

Really early the day after Christmas we left for Utah. A couple of days later we went to a museum called The North American Museum of Ancient Life. The two biggest dinosaur skeletons there were the Supersaurus skeleton and the Brachiosaurus skeleton.

There is a thing at the museum where there are pictures of dinosaurs--you can change the dinosaur or the color. There is even a vegetable color to make it! You can draw pictures and it might go on the thing. This is the picture I drew to go on that thing. This picture is of the Supersaurus skeleton and the Brachiosaurus skeleton.



This is a picture of me next to my sister in front of the Brachiosaurus skeleton. The head is not in the picture because the neck is so high you cannot see it. The Supersaurus skeleton is in the background because the Supersaurus is in the same room as the Brachiosaurus.

Playmobil Brachiosaurus with Baby

For Christmas from Santa I got the Playmobil Brachiosaurus with Baby. It is the biggest toy dinosaur I have. It came with a Brachiosaurus, a baby Brachiosaurus, a tree, and two insects. Here are pictures of the Playmobil Brachiosaurus with Baby and me in my dinosaur pajamas holding the Playmobil Brachiosaurus.
