For many years, we have been designing and outfitting our plastic T-Rex dinosaur with holiday costumes. Often coming up with a design set as well.

Why do we do it? Good question. I suppose that we are living out our inner desires to have been costume and set designers for film, television, or stage. At least that is my thought.

But really, today, we do it just for fun! Each holiday we brainstorm an idea, and then get to work. Once we have an idea, we just do a search on the web and look for images. Most often, we download some graphics and size them to fit the dino.

Set designs are either in the yard, or we print something out from the web, and mount it on cardboard.

Once completed, we take photos and when the holiday arrives, we send the ‘selected’ photo to family and friends. It’s always a lot of fun.

Here is a selection of dino photos from holidays past

I hope you enjoyed the photos!

Perhaps you will come up with a similar tradition to share with your family and friends too.
