Dino Dan Costume

The key part of a Dino Dan costume is a paleontology vest or utility vest. This kids Cargo vest from Backyard Safari is perfect. It has lots of pockets to store fossils and loops to hang geology field tools from. 

The vest fits from age 5-12 (it has an adjustable strap at the back.) It's well enough made that it can be used for regular play and then worn for Halloween.

An explorer hat or child's pith helmet is a great addition to a Dino Dan costume - just like a real paleontologist out on a dino dig in the heat. 

Kids will love to have a realistic dinosaur fossil like this museum style T-Rex tooth. Great for dino digs in the sandbox in the Backyard and for putting in a pocket to show everyone at Halloween. 

Dino Dan is a paleontologist in training. So a Paleontologist in Training T-shirt is perfect to wear under a utility vest for a very cool Dino Dan costume. 

These Paleontologist in Training T-Shirts are available from Zazzle in a variety of kids sizes. They can also be customized so you can change the background color to one of your choice - to match the utility vest perhaps.

The National Geographic Kids Dinopedia makes a great field guide. It's up to date with the latest paleontology research and packed with great pictures and lots of facts. Ideal for identifying any dinosaurs your paleontologist in training might come across.
