A dinosaur to cuddle: a triceratops in turquoise and mint, with a large neck frill, three white horns and big eyes. Belly, legs and muzzle are set off in mint, and the frill is dotted with dark turquoise spots in three sizes.

He stands on all fours by himself. Every part is written out separately, and exactly where the pieces join is explained step by step and shown in photos.
