Dinosaur Train Celebrates National Train Month! (Giveaway!)

Dinosaur Train will be celebrating National Train Day a day early tomorrow, May 6th, with a brand new episode! Set aside everything, because on PBS Kids, you'll get to see all the fun! (Check local listings for the time it airs in your town.)


The new half hour episode includes two 11-minute stories that have both animated segments and live action parts that feature a paleontologist who brings to life the show's "characters" by explaining more about the dinosaurs types and how they lived. In the story "Junior Conductor Jamboree", Buddy the T-Rex and his family ride the Dinosaur Train through it's entire journey, and visit all three dinosaur eras - the Cretaceous, Jurassic, and the Triassic. In the story "Troodon Train Day", the Pteranodan family rides to Troodon Town to celebrate Troodon Train Day, where they are all excited - the main event is a concert by King Crylophosaurus, with his first performance in years! Both stories are fun, and kids will enjoy them while learning a little something about the dinosaurs.

Select PBS stations will also be hosting train themed events throughout the month, so be sure to check out your local market to see whether your stain is participating! Activities include Buddy character costume appearances, and well as Buddy for photos! (Sorry, my local folks, but our market isn't included - sob!) If yours isn't participating, have no fear though, because on the interactive Dinosaur Train website, you'll be able to celebrate trains too with a special themed homepage and new printable activities! (I don't know about y'all, but printables always save rainy days here! My printer gets a workout between coupons and her coloring pages! lol)

You'll also find some fun new Dinosaur Train toys, including this super cute collectible Train Car With Buddy, that my daughter is now asking for the rest of the train!


I hope your family enjoys viewing the new episodes as much as we did!
