I’m so excited to share this adorable crochet dinosaur stacking toy with you all!
This fun and colorful project is perfect for little hands to play - it also helps little ones develop important skills like hand-eye coordination, fine motor skills, and problem-solving as they learn to stack the pieces in the right order. Plus, the soft and squishy design makes it a safe and playful addition to any child’s toy collection!
Since it’s a bit of a bigger project, I’ll be breaking the pattern into three parts, posting one section each week. That way, you can crochet along at a relaxed pace!
In Part 1, we’ll start by making the three rings. Next week, we’ll add more pieces, and in the final part, we’ll bring everything together for the full dinosaur shape!
Happy crocheting!
