This giveaway is closed. Congratulations goes to Carolyn.

Are you familiar with the Emmy-nominated and Parents’ Choice Silver Honor TV series, Dinosaur Train? We are and we love it! Its’ one of the Top Ten Shows for Kids ages 2 to 5!

Created by Craig Bartlett, Dinosaur Train airs on PBS KIDS® (check local listings), and embraces and celebrates the fascination that preschoolers have with both dinosaurs and trains while encouraging basic scientific and thinking skills. Young viewers join Buddy and his adoptive family of Pteranodons on whimsical adventures through prehistoric jungles, swamps, volcanoes and oceans as they unearth basic concepts in natural science, natural history and paleontology. The Dinosaur Train is a colorful locomotive, customized to accommodate all kinds of dinosaurs, and it has the ability to visit the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous worlds, while the Train’s conductor, a knowledgeable Troodon, provides passengers with fascinating facts along the way.  Starting Today, December 10th, be sure to tune in to PBS KIDS for the premiere of new episodes of Dinosaur Train – the Pteranodon kids meet their grandparents!

I can say personally that I know way more about dinosaurs, as do my kids from watching the fun adventures of Buddy, Tiny and Don! We also like the information that the resident Paleontologist, Dr. Scott Samson gives during live segments of the show. My 2-year old son is CRAZY about dinosaurs, loves Dinosaur Train and all of these Dinosaur Train items listed below:

InterAction Buddy, InterAction Tiny or  Interaction Don Pteranodon from Tomy for ages 3 and up.  From $15.99 on Amazon.

SmartTalk technology gives these toys the ability to recognize and interact with other dinosaurs in the line. Press their buttons, and as they shares tons of fun dino data, interactive chomping and sneezing sounds are triggered in their mouth, on his forehead, and on his nose; and when they walk on the ground, they make huge stomping sounds! Tiny makes flapping sounds by waving her wings. They have fully-poseable head, legs, arms, and tail. It’s truly an interactive dinosaur experience!

Ride the Holiday Train! (Dinosaur Train Lift-the-Flap) Board Book for ages 2 to 5. $9.99 on Amazon.

Little ones love lift-the-flap books and this one did not disappoint! Buddy and his friends are super excited that their favorite holiday is coming—the Winter Solstice! Kids travel on the holiday train to the North Pole where the Pteranodon family has the chance to build snow dinosaurs, play a prehistoric game of ice hockey, and meet some new friends. Secondary learning activities which reinforce learning concepts are included, and over 45 flaps hide fun surprises that kids will want to find again and again!

Dinosaur Train Buddy & His Pteranodon Friends Pajamas for boys – available in sizes 2T, 3T and 4T. $20 on Amazon.

Would you like to save this?

We'll email this post to you, so you can come back to it later!

These were probably the favorite item for us! Now your little guy can get comfy with Buddy, the curious T-Rex and his Pteranodon pals Shiny, Tiny & Don on a Camp Out Adventure! The pajama bottoms have an all-over print of Tiny posing on some prehistoric leaves in a primitive camouflage. The short-sleeve top features the dino friends with contrasting sleeves. These 100% polyester pajamas are flame resistant for safety.

    Stella is only 8 mo. old, but we watch Dinosaur Train every morning together….I think she just likes the colors and action, no particular dinosaur.

    My kids like Buddy the best, but love seeing all the different dinosaurs. They loved the Dinosaurs A to Z episode.

    We love Dinosaur Train in our house! My son’s favorite character is Buddy because he is adopted just like my son. We love the way the Pteranadon family have Buddy in their family from birth just like our 2 boys!

    My nephew is the one that is crazy for dinosaurs and trains. He has a pop up dinosaur book that he reads every day. I am not sure what his favorite dinosaaur train character is (he lives in CA I live in GA) but I have no doubt he would love these so very much.
