Pantosaurus - NSPCCs Friendly Dinosaur Who Teaches Important Lessons

At Teddimade, we love teddies that aren’t just cute and cuddly, but inspire children, spark imagination, and sometimes teach really important life lessons. One such character is Pantosaurus, the bright yellow dinosaur who’s become a favourite amongst children and parents, as well as us at Teddimade!

Who Is Pantosaurus?

Pantosaurus is a fun, friendly dinosaur created by the NSPCC as part of their PANTS campaign. His mission is to help children understand simple but important rules to keep themselves safe. Through songs, videos, and activities, Pantosaurus delivers a clear and memorable message in a way that’s easy for children to understand.

The Pants Rules

Pantosaurus teaches the PANTS rules in a child-friendly way:

P – Privates are private

A – Always remember your body belongs to you

N – No means no

T – Talk about secrets that upset you

S – Speak up, someone can help

By singing along with Pantosaurus, children learn about body safety in a positive, non-scary way.

Why We Love Pantosaurus

Pantosaurus has helped over six million parents to Talk PANTS and help keep children safe from sexual abuse, so when the opportunity arose to make Pantosaurus available as a build-your-own bear, we at Teddimade didn’t hesitate to get involved. We know how valuable this character is in helping children learn about their bodies, boundaries, and the power of saying “no”, all in a way that feels safe, friendly, and age-appropriate.  By building Pantosaurus together, parents and children can explore the PANTS message in a relaxed, playful setting. It’s more than just creating a cuddly dinosaur because it’s creating an opportunity for open conversation, giving parents the perfect starting point to talk about what it means to speak up, say no, and know they can always ask for help.

Building Pantosaurus Together

Each Pantosaurus comes with a Pantosaurus song sound module that you can insert inside the teddy during the build. When pressed, Pantosaurus sings his catchy song making it easy for children to remember those PANTS rules. This is the perfect time for parents to:

- Sing along with their child

- Discuss what each PANTS rule means in simple, reassuring language

- Talk about what makes Pantosaurus special

- Encourage questions and make it clear your child can always talk to you about anything that makes them feel worried or unsure.

By connecting the fun of building a cuddly dinosaur with gentle learning, you’re helping your child remember these important rules in a positive and relaxed way. The finished Pantosaurus isn’t just a toy, he becomes a friendly reminder of your conversation and the safety messages you’ve shared.
