# Miniature Dinosaur Craft Kits Laser-Cut 'Tinysaur' and 'Wooly Tiny' for Budding Surgeons By Marissa Brassfield | Published 2008-12-16 | Life-Stages Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dinosaur-craft-kit-miniature References: [boingboing.net](http://www.boingboing.net/2008/12/15/tiny-lasercut-assemb.html) & [etsy](http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=18569354) Kelly Farrell's miniature Tinysaur and Wooly Tiny are wee versions of the [assemble-it-yourself dinosaur craft kits for kids](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/craft-starter-kit). These kits, however, are perhaps more appropriate for budding surgeons, because both the Tinysaur and Wooly Tiny are about an inch long from snout or tusks to tail. I love miniatures, but I'd probably prefer that Kelly Farrell assemble my [miniature dinosaur craft kit](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dino-adventure-pack) for me. Farrell takes custom orders for personalized laser-cut miniatures and welcomes visitors to her New York City studio. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.7/10 - Popularity: 20% | Activity: 22% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Life-Stages](https://www.trendhunter.com/life-stages) > [Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/toys) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Miniature Craft Trend:** The rise of miniature DIY craft kits that incorporate laser-cutting technology is creating opportunities for companies to develop new and unique products. - **Personalized Laser-cut Products Trend:** As consumers are increasingly seeking out personalized products, companies can leverage laser-cutting technology to offer bespoke, one-of-a-kind creations. - **Micro-diy Trend:** The introduction of miniature craft kits will further drive the micro-DIY trend, offering consumers a quick, satisfying way to engage in creative activities. ### Where This Applies - **Arts and Crafts:** The arts and crafts industry has an opportunity to incorporate laser-cutting technology to develop new, miniature product lines for customers. - **Personalization Services:** Companies that offer personalized services, such as the creation of bespoke miniature kits, can leverage their skills to capitalize on the growing demand for unique, customized products. - **Educational Toys and Games:** The miniature dinosaur craft kits can be positioned as educational toys, providing children with an engaging way to learn about the prehistoric era and encouraging hands-on learning. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Interactive Fossil-Inspired Costumes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wearable-dinosaur-costume.md) - [Tiny Pet Habitat Collectibles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miniverse-make-it-mini-animals.md) - [Miniature Baking Collectibles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mini-food.md) - [Dinosaur Intricate Puzzle Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dinosaur-fossils-tyrannosaurus-rex.md) - [Digital Dinosaur Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bitzee-jurassic-world.md) - [Dinosaur Fossil Puzzle Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-dinosaur-fossils-trex-skull.md) - [Dinosaur-Themed Puzzle Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dinosaur-fossils-triceratops-skull.md) - [DIY Food Collectibles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miniverse-make-it-mini-from-scratch.md) - [Reversible Dinosaur Plushies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glow-in-the-dark-dinosaur-plushies.md)
