Wooden triceratops
It's been more than a decade since Jurassic Park came out, but the way we see it, dinosaurs are due to come back in style very soon. After all, Jurassic World is out soon, and so it won't be long before a whole new generation decides that, hey, perhaps archaeology is a pretty cool career choice.

If you want to get the jump on the imminent rush of dino-fever, now is the time to do it. We've got a bunch of great build-a-dinosaur kits here at Gadget Inspector, and today, we're going to show you how we built our very own triceratops...

Dinosaur Construction kit

Here's what you get in your dinosaur kit - the first thing to do is press out all the pieces!


Building a triceratops

Start with the long spine/tail piece. This is what you'll be slotting all the other pieces into.


Triceratops step 2

Slot the shoulders and hips into the spine, then add the four legs.


Triceratops step 3

Now for the ribs! You should have 5 wishbone-shaped pieces; slot these on top of the spine.


Triceratops step 4

Finally, give Topsy a head so that she can see. Congratulations - you have just built a dinosaur!

UPDATE: Our triceratops is alive and she's joined Twitter! Her handle is @TopsyTri - why not give her a follow?
