All About Elle
Elle Steadman was a mom with a dream! She created Pink Dinosaur when her fourth child was born. Elle wanted to be able to stay home with her and have a creative outlet for herself as well. She named the boutique after her three boys (Noah, Warner & Jax) who all LOVE Dinosaurs and the pink is for her baby girl (Annie). Elle believes pink is more than just a color - it's an attitude!
