If you follow our Facebook page, you might have noticed that our personalised ‘star patient’ stickers now have dinosaurs on them. This was thanks to a young patient, who felt that they really should make an appearance. Well, we aim to please so you’ll now find a row of dinosaur stickers on our star patient sets.
At The Sticker Factory, dinosaurs appear not only on our stickers for healthcare workers, but on a lot of other products too, and are some of our favourite designs. So we thought we’d celebrate them today with our top ten cool dinosaur facts.
