Rockets and dinosaurs are two things that every kid loves. Thanks to Stomp Rocket, you can have both for under $20. And this comes just in time to celebrate National Dinosaur Day on June 1.

Stomp Rocket is the company responsible for kid-powered toys that encourage physical activity and S.T.E.M. learning at the same time. The simple design ensures an easy setup with a no-mess operation and zero electrical or fire hazards due to fuel. Your child connects the launch pad to the launch base, loads the rocket, and starts stomping prehistoric creatures into the troposphere, the lowest layer of Earth’s atmosphere. If you didn’t know that, congratulations, the learning has already begun!

This toy is suitable for kids ages 3 and up. It comes with a trio of dino-themed rockets that feature a soft foam tip for safety: Riley the Raptor, Trixie the Triceratops, and Theo the T-Rex.

When you stomp on the launch pad, the force moves air through a tube and blasts the prehistoric adventurers into the sky. The harder you stomp, the higher the Dino-Soar Rockets fly. This teaches your child about fundamental scientific principles, such as force, acceleration, trajectory, gravity, and more in a fun and engaging way. Kids can time the flights, change the launch angle, measure the distance, and create exciting experiments of their own. They can even film the launches to make dynamic videos that help prove their theories about rockets, force, and trajectory.

This screen-free activity also helps develop hand-eye coordination along with progressing both fine and gross motor skills. Plus, it fosters family together time. The entire set is portable, which means you can take the excitement to parks or even on vacation for exotic launch locales.

Fun fact:
Before Sir Richard Owen dipped his toe into neologism and invented the word “dinosaur” (meaning “terrible lizard”), early paleontologists (pre-1842) called these creatures “great fossil lizards.”

Stomp Rocket Dino-Soar Rockets are available at your favorite toy sellers, such as Walmart and Amazon.
