All Aboard!

Dinosaurs and trains. Can it get any better for most preschoolers? Imagine an adorable preschool-age Tyrannosaurus Rex riding a colorful train on an exciting voyage through prehistoric jungles, swamps, volcanoes and oceans. That is the premise of Dinosaur Train, a new CGI-animated series.

Now, as a parent or teacher of a young child, imagine how excited you’ll be when you see how Dinosaur Train helps your child learn more about natural science, natural history and paleontology. Each 30-minute episode takes kids on a trip to explore our world during the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous periods. Dinosaur Train airs on CET at 9:30am and 3pm.

But wait, there’s more! Dinosaur Train also has an interactive website. Children can discover natural history and paleontology through fun games and activities. Parents and teachers of young children can also find resources and activities that build on the learning experience.

All aboard the Dinosaur Train!
