This LEGO® DUPLO® DIY build is the perfect compromise for daredevil children and daredon’t parents alike.
On paper, children should be petrified of dinosaurs. In reality, they are OBSESSED. T. rex is a case in point.

One of the things kids love about Halloween is that they’re allowed to pretend to be dangerous and spooky, and to dwell on scary things. It’s a day off from behaving like a “good kid”, and it’s safe and consequence-free because they’re only pretend-bad, and things are only pretend-scary! For parents, telling ghost stories, impersonating creepy characters and legends of the afterlife are perfect opportunities for playing and being creative with your kids.
