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.

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.

To Win: One Frugal Coupon Living reader will win a Dinosaur Train Gift Basket to include one Dinosaur Train Interactive Toy (randomly selected), Dinosaur Train Christmas lift the flap book, Dinosaur Train Pajamas (only available in size 2T – if this is too small, you will receive two DVDs).

Christmas Favorites with Great Value Cinnamon Rolls and Cookie Dough!

by Filed Under: Holiday2010, Review, Walmart

Last week I told you that I was going to remake a Breakfast Lasagna recipe using Great Value Brand Cinnamon Rolls!  Most Walmart’s carry the Great Value refrigerated doughs; but they also make the store brands for all other grocery stores except Aldi.  Since we are a test market, I did not find them in my store; but did grab Publix’s store brand and they worked great!

First, I made the Cinnamon Roll Breakfast Casserole (recipe HERE):

First, fill a 13×9 with two cans of Cinnamon Rolls – 8 ct.  Now, this was kind of an experiment so I cooked the cinnamon rolls all the way before adding the toppings because I wasn’t sure if they would cook with everything on top.  I think next time I may cook them half to 3/4 of the way because they were a little over-done once the casserole was cooked.

Once the Cinnamon Rolls are cooked, top with the icing that comes with them.  Then top with Apples, then Ham (I used lunchmeat) and finally cheese (another change I made after cooking this once.  Two layers of cheese was a little bit much; but definitely do one generous layer!

Pop it in the oven for about 30 minutes and serve with the Sour Cream-Brown Sugar Sauce and Syrup (if desired).  This got great reviews from the parents at my eldest daughter’s school Holiday Party and I agree, it was good and the Publix brand cinnamon rolls were awesome!

Then, the kids and I made the Christmas Cookie Pizza to take with us for some Christmas Caroling with our church (recipe HERE):

This is so easy and you can do whatever you want to decorate it!  We chose Marshmallow fluff and Christmas sprinkles!
 Have your best helpers help you spread the cookie dough on a greased round cookie sheet.  I used a pizza pan so I needed two rolls of dough!  If you do that, cook it with a cookie sheet underneath.
Once the cookie is done, either spread it with marshmallow fluff (wait for it to cool completely before doing this) OR sprinkle with miniature marshmallows.  I think I will do this next time because I like the way it looks in the example recipe.  Oh well – still tastes great!
Then, have your helpers decorate it any way they want!  This usually guarantees it won’t look perfect but it tastes great just the same and memories were created too!
This Christmas Cookie Pizza (or pie, as my middle child keeps saying) is sooo decadent!  There are tons of chocolate chips and the marshmallow just adds to the flavor.

 Both of these recipes were so easy for anyone to make!  Consider using them in your Christmas baking.

Make sure to look for Great Value or store brand refrigerated doughs next time you’re at Walmart or your local grocery store!

Disclosure: I was compensated by Ralcorp and The Motherhood for this cooking review.  I researched the recipes and did all the cooking myself.  The opinions expressed herein are 100% mine and should not be substituted as your own.
