DVD Description:
Dinosaur Train embraces and celebrates the fascination that preschoolers have with both dinosaurs and trains while sparking an interest in life science, natural history, and paleontology.
Dinosaur Train: Pteranodon Family World Tour episodes include:
- Pteranodon Family World Tour - The entire Pteranodon family embarks on a roaring, exploring, World Tour adventure! They meet the Conductor's nephew, Gilbert, and Martin Amargasaurus, a spine-spangled quadruped with an intimidating sail.
- Gilbert the Junior Conductor - The kids play with Gilbert during their first full day on the train.
- Confuciusornis Says - The next stop on the World Tour takes the Pteranodon family to Confuciusornis Gardens, where they meet a very wise old dinosaur.
- Tiny's Tiny Doll - During a stop on the tour, Tiny accidentally leaves her beloved Tiny Doll behind in Velociraptor Valley. Valerie and Velma Velociraptor enlist the help of a wide-winged Pterosaur named Ziggy to fly Tiny's doll back to the train.
- Iggy Iguanodon - The Pteranodon family meets Iggy Iguanodon, a large, four-legged chap who shows them his unique way of walking while leading them to some famous white cliffs.
- Shiny Can't Sleep - Shiny gets homesick while the Pteranodon family continues on their World Tour. She tries to fall asleep in their Sleeping Car, but can't, so Dad takes her for a walk around the Dinosaur Train, where they observe the night activities of nocturnal creatures.
- Kenny Kentrosaurus - As the Pteranodon family's World Tour continues, they travel to Africa to meet a Stegosaur named Kenny Kentrosaurus.
- Don and the Troodons - The Pteranodon family oversleeps and has to hurry to make another guided walk on their World Tour!
Harnessing children's enthusiasm for and curiosity about dinosaurs, DINOSAUR TRAIN sparks 3-6 year old children's interest in life science and natural history. The show encourages children to compare the characteristics of ancient animals with those that are alive today. As they explore a variety of interesting animals past and present, children develop the inquiry skills and core knowledge needed to help them think, talk and act like scientists
A healthy diet is important to us all, just as it was to Dinosaurs many years ago. Nutrition is very important. Dinosaur Train invites us to teach our children how to prepare a vegetarian (herbivore) PICNIC filled with great food and fun!
Here are some other healthy snacks for your children:
1. Peel a banana and dip it in yogurt. Roll in crushed cereal and freeze.
2. Spread celery sticks with peanut butter or low-fat cream cheese, top with raisins. “ants on a log.”
3. Stuff a whole-grain pita pocket with ricotta cheese and Granny Smith apple slices. Add a cinnamon.
4. Mix together ready-to-eat cereal, dried fruit and nuts in a sandwich bag for an on-the-go snack.
5. Smear a scoop of frozen yogurt on 2 graham crackers add sliced banana to make a yummy
sandwich.
My Review:
Both my boys (3 and 5 years) enjoy Dinosaur Train, whether it be on PBS Kids or on DVD. My boys both into dinosaurs are learning while watching Dinosaur Train. When I asked my oldest what he liked best about the DVD his response was learning about all the different dinosaurs - their names and what they eat. Personally as a homeschool mom I like this DVD because it's a World Tour and the dinosaurs are traveling the world, children are learning about different parts of the world as they are enjoying this DVD!

ReplyDeletemy children are in love with dinosaur train. As soon as the show started on PBS, my son (then 5) began his obsession with dinos. I don't know how long it will last, but for now he wants to be a Christian paleontologist who teaches people about dinosaurs and the Bible. I could keep writing about what they enjoy about Dinosaur Train... but it would take up all the space ;). Needless to say, it is a favorite in our home.

ReplyDeleteMy son enjoys watching Dinosaur Train every single weekday morning. His favorite character is Buddy, and he loves how he's always saying, "I have a hypothesis." :) My son is only 1 and a half years old, but is already walking around saying, "I have a hypottimus" lol! He gets those two words mixed up! :D He loves the theme song too, and will come running if he hears it. He also can sing some of the song too. Mostly the "Train" part lol.
