T-Rex with Rider! Here is another adventure for your peg doll: riding on a T-Rex! I had to do something with those spindly forearms that the T-Rex has to keep them from snapping off, so I gave him something to hold. Paint it anyway you like. It could be an egg, just a rock or maybe a soccer or basketball. T-Rex thunders down the court, he shoots, he scores! He eats the net, the basketball and the Ref! Go team T-Rex!! Sometimes I get a bit carried away, sorry about that.
The Tyrannosaurus Rex will be approximately 6 inches tall, 9-3/4 inches long and 1-1/2 inches thick. The Rider is our standard #5 Lg. Boy Peg Doll. The T-Rex is made from unfinished pine, lightly sanded but the rest is up to you. He will probably need a little touch up sanding in the tight areas and if you want the corners rounded over, you will have to do that too. Peg dolls are made from unfinished hardwood, usually maple, and may need some finish sanding too, although they are usually smooth and ready to go.
You will only be receiving the wood blank of T-Rex and Rider. Photos showing the drawings up against T-Rex are for clarification only and are not included. I also put a Chunky Horse with Rider with T-Rex to show the relative size of T-Rex since most of you are familiar with the Chunky Horse and Rider. The Chunky Horse and Rider are not included, but may be purchased separately on another listing.
Be sure and print off the drawing guide. Even though the guides will never fit the wood shape exactly (different printers, cutting and sanding), it will give you a good idea of how the head should be. As to what color to paint your T-Rex, paint him up however you like. I don’t think anyone knows for sure what color they were so have a little fun. If you give him a soccer or basketball to carry, paint him in your favorite team’s colors!
We do not recommend any one particular kind of paint or finish. That is entirely up to you. Read labels to be sure you get child safe paints and finishes. We do not recommend any of our hand made wood items for children under 3 years old. If your child or pet is still taste testing everything, use supervised play only. Small items could be a choking hazard.
Your T-Rex will ship by First Class Parcel (USPS Ground Advantage) with delivery in 2 to 5 business days from mailing. Rates are figured using rates to the West Coast so if you live closer to us than that, we may be able to refund a bit of the shipping fee shown here. Contact us if you want to know the exact shipping fee.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION..........PLEASE READ!!
Our pine cutout items are designed and copyrighted by me (Phyllis). They are free hand drawings and will not be the same side to side. I feel this gives them more character and individualism. The items are then hand cut one at a time by Ron with his band saw. They are lightly sanded. All this means that no two will be exactly alike. Pieces of stackers and puzzles are not interchangeable. Pieces of stackers and puzzles must be all "right" side up to fit together properly. If a piece is flipped over, it won't fit! This makes the stacker more challenging and less boring over time. If this is an issue for your young ones, we suggest that one side be painted in dark colors and the other side in light colors. For instance, a rainbow could be primary colors on one side and pastel colors on the other. Due to differences in printers, hand cutting and sanding, the drawing GUIDES provided for our cutouts are never going to fit exactly. They are merely GUIDES to help you with details as you finish your cutout!
Our hand cut items are cut from pine grown in the USA and occasionally Canada. The lumber is marked KDHT which means it is KILN DRIED (to reduce the moisture content) and HEAT TREATED (pasteurized, heated to partial sterilization to kill bugs and bacteria). Our items are sold UNFINISHED. Although Ron lightly sands our hand cut items, there could still be rough spots, sharp edges, or even a few splinters. It is up to you to finish sanding the items to your liking before applying any paint or finish. We don't recommend any one finish over another. It is up to you to choose the type of finish you prefer and read the labels to be sure it is child safe!
WARNING!!!
We do not recommend any of our products for children under 3 years of age. Small pieces can be a choking hazard so if your child (or pet) is still taste testing everything, use common sense when purchasing. You know your child best; buy wisely! Remember, anything that can pass through a toilet paper roller is a choking hazard!
