Once our dinosaur costume (not the kind of inflatable ones you can find on Amazon or Alibaba) is put on, the actor can immediately transform into a “real dinosaur”. This dinosaur can run, jump, open its mouth to roar at the audience, and even gather together to perform fighting scenes… The audience can have a great experience interacting with these Living Dinosaurs.

At the Zigong Spring Festival Lantern in 2025, these lifelike “dinosaurs” left the children in awe as soon as they appeared. More than a dozen dinosaur actors gave a Flash Mob Show at the gathering place decorated with children’s favorite cartoon lanterns. They gave several performances, including “Dinosaur Hunters”, “Dinosaur Chase”, “Dinosaur Bowing Down to the King”, etc. The spectators watching nearby kept applauding and exclaiming in admiration.

Excitement and curiosity

Many children are highly interested in dinosaurs. When they see dinosaur models or pictures, they will feel excited and may raise various questions, such as the types of dinosaurs, their living habits, etc. Once children see “real dinosaurs” in their daily life or at the playground, they will be stimulated by the sight and will be able to activate all their cells in their bodies, as well as raise their voices and move their bodies.

The children will scream; the grown-ups too may scream.

The children would suddenly start running around. They would run up to the dinosaurs and some of them would touch them; someone would stop to look at the dinosaurs.

The children would touch the head, tail and claws of the dinosaurs, and some of them would even touch the teeth of the dinosaurs.

The child would shout loudly to his parents, “Look! There are real dinosaurs!”

Fear and tension

Some children might be frightened by the big size or fierce appearance of dinosaurs. Especially when they see realistic dinosaurs slowly approaching them, some dinosaurs might even hide in corners and suddenly pop out to scare them. Especially for the two well-known carnivorous dinosaurs, the “Velociraptor” and the “Tyrannosaurus Rex“, in the minds of children, they are both dangerous animals that can devour living people in one bite. Once they see them, they feel as frightened and nervous as if they encountered lions or tigers in the wild.

The children might hide behind their parents out of fear.

The timid kids will howl or even cry.

The children would be unable to move until the dinosaur was far away from them.

Imitate the behavior of dinosaurs

Children may imitate the movements and sounds of dinosaurs, such as pretending to be dinosaurs, making roaring sounds or performing hunting actions. The actors wearing dinosaur costumes, in order to convey the sense of tension when “encountering dinosaurs“, would imitate the movements of the dinosaurs in the movies and the scenes of their mutual fighting. The brave children would imitate these movements when they saw them. In the process of imitation, children will gain joy and interaction.

What are the popular imitation actions?

They will imitate the howling of dinosaurs as they look up to the sky.

They will imitate the posture of dinosaurs when they hunt by crouching low.

They will grow big mouths and roar like dinosaurs.

They will dance with their claws as if they were dinosaurs.

They will walk like dinosaurs, tiptoeing and being very cautious.

Learning and exploration

Dinosaurs are a great opportunity for children to learn about ancient creatures and natural history. They may further acquire knowledge about dinosaurs through books, videos or museum exhibitions. Surely, once children see real-life dinosaurs in action (actors put on dinosaur costumes to perform), they will also have the idea of exploring these prehistoric beasts. And such an idea is often stronger than what they see in museums or in video images.

Why is it even more intense?

The sight of real live dinosaurs that children see often has a more direct and powerful impact on them.

Children are curious creatures with a zest for entertainment and interaction. Only when they have the opportunity to experience it firsthand will they be stimulated to explore more out of curiosity.

Only after coming into contact with “living dinosaurs“, then have the desire to learn about them.

They might use colored pens to sketch out a cartoonish “Jurassic Park“, and draw their favorite dinosaurs such as Tyrannosaurus Rex, Stegosaurus, and Brachiosaurus as they please; It is possible to purchase the “Jurassic World” set from the Lego collection and build their own dinosaur kingdom by themself; Perhaps parents could take their children to visit the Natural Science Museum and learn about the knowledge of the prehistoric world that the children are interested in, etc.

The reactions of each child may vary, depending on their personalities, ages and their understanding of dinosaurs. However, precisely because of the dinosaur-related connection, the children of these different individuals can gather together and interact with each other, thereby exercising their social skills.
