Dizzy Dino is one of the Fisher-Price patented Pop-Up Kritters (Patented October 5, 1926-No. 1,601,983) that are made of bead and string construction allowing the Kritter to spring to life when the strings are pulled tightly, squirm and sway around as the strings are loosened, and laying flat when the strings are loosened all the way. Pop-Up Kritters are mounted on a paddle and the control strings have metal loops on the end to allow easy maneuvering.

Dizzy Dino poem printed in 1931 Fisher-Price catalogue:

I'm Dizzy Dino, if you please
Full of life from nose to knees.

And learn the trick-
I'm made for fun, the world agrees.
