Everytime I hear the words “Dinosaur Train” I start singing. Catchy little tune they have. If you’ve seen the famous Dinosaur Train on PBS, then you know exactly what I’m talking about. Does your child have an upcoming birthday party or are you already hiding stuff for stocking stuffers? I know I am! It’s never too early. If you do decide to have a Dinosaur Train party, make it official with a Dinosaur Train cake and cupcakes. For favors and stocking stuffers, grab some Dinosaur Train Hatchers.
Teach your child how dinosaurs were hatched from eggs. Simply drop the egg in water and wait 24-48 hours for your dinosaur to fully hatch. After only a few hours, your children will see some of the egg start to break open as Buddy hatches from his egg little by little. It is such a neat experience and my kids were in complete awe. It was hard for them to understand they had to leave the egg alone though to let Buddy “do his own thing.”
If your kids like electronics, introduce them to the Dinosaur Train Eggspress application, now for iPhone, iPod and iPad ($2.99), challenges your child to find and match dinosaur eggs and then reunite dinosaur families while progressing through three different time periods. Your child will discover real flora and fauna from the Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous eras. Along the way, there will be learning moments as Buddy and the Conductor reveal mystery dinosaur hatchlings, fun dinosaur facts, and an adorable Dinosaur Baby Book.
