1 Dinosaur Train Toys - Learn Dinosaurs With Buddy And His Pals If you have kids or remember those days, you will know that they go bonkers for dinosaurs at some stage. Conjecture suggests that the fierce, monstrous look of the animals is the attraction but more modern dinosaur stereotypes may suggest differently.modern dinosaur stereotypes

2 Get Your Ticket On The Dinosaur Train The Dinosaur Train is a cartoon series that is screened on the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) in the United States. It was well received by parents and loved by children and as such was eagerly bought by other countries around the globe.

3 Get Your Ticket On The Dinosaur Train Children have taken the characters to their hearts even though they may not seem to have the typical appeal that dinosaurs might have. In fact, the Dinosaurs featured in Dinosaur train are pretty much like humans. They work human jobs, face human issues and live in a family unit much like humans might do. There is also a modern twist to the main family though.

4 Get Your Ticket On The Dinosaur Train Buddy, the central character is actually adopted by the family who are a different species to him. Adopted is a way to call it but actually it seems a bit more random than that. Before he was born, in egg form, he was placed with a group of Pteranodon eggs (No idea how but it seems very atypical...but lets not split hairs or crack eggs as they say). So buddy lives in a mixed species Dinosaur family, he is very different to his brothers and sisters and mom and dad. He has a large family by modern standards (unless your second name is Pitt-Jolie or Ciccione !) 3 brothers and sisters and a mom and dad. The obvious similarities with our modern families makes the show relevant and the issues of diversity and tolerance are a sub theme to the educational content of the program.

5 Get Your Ticket On The Dinosaur Train The train part of the story comes into play as the family regularly go on a specialized train which takes them all over the world and even through time to visit different types of dinosaur species. And this is where the education or learning of the show really stands out. A typical episode will involve visiting a new place or time and learning about the different Dinosaur species that lived there. The episodes are given a bit more personality and a human context as the family and other Dinosaurs on the train have various incidents that a young child could relate to. So a great example might be how the brothers and sister will bicker and mom or dad will have to intervene to keep the peace. There are also songs which kids can be taught and sing a long to.

6 Dinosaur Train Toys And in spite of, or probably because of, the popularity of the show, many toys have been created from the individual characters through to the train and landscapes.many toys The charm about the toys is that they are also educational and kids can learn interesting facts about Dinosaurs simply by playing with them.

7 Dinosaur Train Toys All the main characters, including buddy of course have been made into 7 inch high figurine toys. Alongside facts and figures Buddy will roar and groan from time to time. The other members of his Pteranodon family come in figurine form and can speak just like buddy. You can also get the usual suspects in toy form like the Brontosaurus, Dimitrodon, Velociraptor and others.

8 Dinosaur Train Toys The train can be collected to and built on as more animals travel in it. So tall necked creatures like the diplodocus or brachiosaurus might have an open compartment carriage. Whereas aquatic species will have a carriage that is virtually an aquarium that they can look out of as the train travels along. In many cases, when you buy a new Dinosaur train creature, you can buy the coach or compartment that suits it. So children can add to their collection of dinosaur train toys and make up their own stories involving the new creatures.
