Enough with unicorns and dinosaurs – show children the magic of real, living animals instead | Isabel Losada

Guardian
Summary
Nutrition label

62% Informative

Dinosaur products are marketed to boys and unicorn products to girls.

It's almost as if someone doesn't want our children to become interested in animals that are actually alive.

I know children who can list 10 different types of dinosaur but don't know the difference between an African elephant and an Indian elephant.

If you want to introduce our tiny humans to animals, please buy them a book about aardvarks, brown kiwi.
