The T-Rex Backpack Buddy is the perfectly-sized amigurumi dinosaur for hanging on a child’s backpack. It works up quickly and can be easily customized to be made in your child’s favourite colour or in a colour to match their backpack. The T-rex wears a functional backpack so that parents/caregivers can send notes to school with the child, with their t-rex friend acting as a messenger. Makes a great gift for back-to-school or as a stocking stuffer.
