A Touch of Whimsy for Every Nursery

Handcrafted wooden baby dinosaur figurines bring a playful spirit into any nursery or playroom. Their whimsical designs inspire storytelling, spark creativity, and encourage hours of imaginative play. Unlike their plastic counterparts, wooden toys have a warmth and character that only natural materials can provide. Each piece is unique, with subtle variations in grain and finish that make it truly one-of-a-kind.

Cutting a Peterdactyl using my EX-21 Scroll Saw

Order Your Peterdactyl

In this behind-the-scenes photo from my workshop, I'm using a scroll saw to meticulously cut out the individual pieces for a handmade Pterodactyl figurine from oak hardwood. The main body showcases the sleek, curved silhouette of the prehistoric creature with cutouts for wings and details. Scattered around it are the detached components—wings, legs, and other elements—each carefully labeled with thickness measurements like 1/2", 3/4", 5/8", and 1 1/2" to ensure precise assembly later. The wood dust and the scroll saw highlight the hands-on craftsmanship that goes into every creation. If you're enchanted by this dino design but prefer to skip the DIY, fully assembled Pterodactyl figurines are available for purchase in my Etsy shop—perfect for collectors, kids' rooms, or anyone who loves a touch of whimsical paleo-art!

 

Cutting A Peterdactyl Using the EX-21 Scroll Saw

Making a Peterdactyl figurine is a fun and rewarding project.

Tools and materials I used.

• EX-21 scroll saw
• Printed Pterodactyl pattern
• 3/4-inch-thick wood for the body.
• Spray adhesive

I used spray adhesive to attach the pterodactyl pattern directly to the wood.

I use a Pegas #3MGT blade to cut the pterodactyl. This is by far my most-used scroll saw blade.

As a rule, I drill any entry hole for interior cuts before cutting out the body.
