Who doesn’t like dinosaurs? Dinosaurs have fascinated young and old alike since man started recording history. I think probably because our imagination can take us to a time when these magnificent creatures roamed the planet. One of my sons started his love affair with dinosaurs at the tender age of almost three and that continued for many, many years. He has now graduated college with five degrees and he majored in history which could take him to – guess what – being an archeologist!!

Halloween is around the corner and it is never to early to make plans. Finding a dinosaur halloween costume would be an excellent choice if you have children interested in these amazing creatures. As for kids costumes, there are a lot of choices. Tyrannosaurus Rex, or T-Rex as he is known, is always a favorite probably because of his ferociousness. The stegosaurus and triceratops are also well known. There is always the flying pterodactyl and the peaceful, veggie eating brachiosaurus. My children usually attended school halloween parties where they could venture to be whomever or whatever they wanted to be on that special day.

If you live in a colder climate, then a dinosaur costume would be a great choice as they are often warmer costumes. There are many toddler halloween costumes to choose from. You could always go with a theme for your family if you are attending a costume party. As you will see below, there are couples halloween costumes as well as baby costumes too. A dinosaur halloween theme is a lot of fun especially if you can find dinosaur costumes for all.

A Little History Before Choosing A Dinosaur Halloween Costume

In 1842, an English paleontologist, Richard Owens coined the word dinosaur. The word is derived from the Greek words “deinos” meaning terrible, powerful and “sauros” meaning lizard. In the first half of the twentieth century, most of the scientific community thought dinosaurs to be unintelligent, cold blooded creatures. However, much research done since the 1970’s indicates that dinosaurs were active animals with the ability of having many social interactions.

As we know, some dinosaurs were herbivores while others were carnivores. There are over 9,000 species of animal and bird dinosaurs. Although we tend to think of them as large in size, the majority were human-sized or even smaller. Fossils have been found on every continent and were first recognized in the early nineteenth century. Since then dinosaur skeletons have become major attractions at museums all over the world. They have been featured in best selling movies, think Jurassic Park, as well as featured in best selling books.

When my children were younger, you had to basically create a costume as finding a dinosaur costume wasn’t easy to come by. These days finding a T-Rex, stegosaurus, triceratops or even a pterodactly costume isn’t hard to do – especially online. Then there is the cartoonish type of costumes like good, old Barney. You can even find a baby costume should you so desire.
