Guest Post From Everything Dinosaur

Everything Dinosaur is a specialist educational company based in the county of Cheshire, in the Northwest of England. Formed in August 2005, the company consists of parents, teachers, amateur palaeontologists and dinosaur enthusiasts.

Backed by an award winning management team, Everything Dinosaur aims to help young people take a greater interest in Earth sciences through their fascination with dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals. Many museums in the United Kingdom are no longer able to charge admission fees, relying instead on subvention payments from the UK Government. Although this policy has provided much wider public access to Britain’s museums, unfortunately, many natural history museums have found it difficult to maintain research programmes, dig sites, fund expeditions and other forms of palaeontological research. Working in conjunction with scientists, educational bodies and designers, staff at Everything Dinosaur have helped create prehistoric animal themed merchandise, sales of which help support museums and other educational institutions.

The company sends dinosaur themed items all over the world; we even have customers at the North Pole!

Team members at Everything Dinosaur are enthusiastically participating in a number of initiatives encouraging school children to get more involved with science. The school visits are popular with our qualified teachers involving students in dinosaur themed experiments, activities involving fossils and other educational events.

As part of the out-reach activities, staff at Everything Dinosaur started a web log in 2007. The web log (or blog as it is known), is a web-based resource that publishes updates on research, information supplied by palaeontologists, museum staff, articles based on questions from children and all sorts of other material with a prehistoric theme.

Everything Dinosaur team members, try to publish an article everyday, but sometimes their busy workload prevents them from doing this, certainly it is a bizarre company to be involved with, what with product testing, design work, research and school visits, there is hardly enough time left over these days to go out fossil collecting.
