Meet Terry the Triceratops: A Big Entrance in the Attic
Snowflake was dozing peacefully when:
CRASH! BANG! RUMBLE!

The whole attic shook.
From behind the trunk burst a bold baby triceratops, sage green with bright white horns. He tumbled headfirst into a basket of yarn, sending balls rolling in every direction.
## A Lively New Friend Brings Energy and Fun
“This attic is GREAT!” Terry bellowed with a laugh.
Snowflake blinked. “Are you… okay?”
“Of course!” Terry grinned. “I was practicing my ta-da! entrance!” He wiggled his horns proudly.
“I’m Terry the Triceratops. Nothing’s too big or too loud for me!”
Snowflake chuckled. “Well, welcome, Terry. Just… maybe try not to knock over the chairs?”
Why Dinosaur Stories Capture Kids’ Imaginations
But Terry was already charging across the rug — rolling yarn balls, bouncing on cushions, and sending dust flying in glittery sunbeams.
Snowflake giggled and joined in.
Dinosaur characters like Terry spark imagination, confidence, and playful energy. Their bold personalities encourage children to explore movement, sound, and creativity through story.
