Dinosaur Train Gets On Board For Earth Day-Plus Giveaway

World Habitat Awareness Month is a worldwide observance for the need to protect the habitat of all Earth’s creatures and to make a conscious effort to preserve nature’s ecosystems, celebrating the spirit of unity between people, animals and the natural environment.   And, Earth Day is an annual day on which events are held worldwide to increase awareness and appreciation of the Earth's natural environment!  

The Jim Henson Company, PBS KIDS, Readers Digest Children’s Books and Dinosaur Train are jumping onboard to celebrate Earth Month too!  They have a brand new book out called Buddy and the Nature Trackers.  It has more than 45 flaps to lift and a learning activity on each spread combine to make this book both entertaining and educational!  The Nature Trackers are always on the lookout for interesting things to discover all around them. Kids will enjoy the adventures of Buddy, Tiny, Shiny and Don as they check out a cave filled with colorful gems, watch baby dinosaurs hatch from eggs, and more. The activities throughout reinforce early learning concepts like colors, action words, counting, matching, and opposites.   SRP $9.99, ages 2 and up.  Available wherever books are sold.

My little boy loves flap up books and Dinosaur Train.  This book was great for him and really for any preschool aged child.  Each set of pages have a theme and your child basically lifts the flaps to find that theme.  For example, one page tells a little story about caves and caverns and crystals.  They ask you to find certain colors.  As you and your little one flip over the flaps you find the colors and your child can tell you them.  These themes make the book educational as well.  

    

The Jim Henson Company and PBS KIDS are offering even more ideas for learning about the nature around you with a brand new online game, Backyard Theropods!

 

Learn all about today's dinosaurs - birds!  Join Dr. Scott and help place interesting birds in their appropriate habitat. Use a bird caller to attract the bird, listen to the clue and then select where you think it lives. You will learn what different birds sound like, look like, what they are called, where they are likely to live, and about the ancestral connection between birds and dinosaurs. Once you learn a little more about birds you can get out in nature and look for birds in your own backyard!
