anyone's LO watch 'Dinosaur Train'?
it's a Jim Henson show on PBS
i saw some show related toys in a catalog- interactive dino figures- they look super cute, say 40 different things, and interact they with each other!
a quick search on amazon and i found them cheaper than the catalog (with free shipping), so i'm adding to michael's x-mas list
i was just wondering if anyone has seen this show. it's on at 9:30 am so i don't get to see it. i know my mom watches some other shows with M on PBS but she's never mentioned this one. i'm just courious what it's about

Re: anyone's LO watch 'Dinosaur Train'?
We watch it every once in a while...a lot of time Evan is still sleeping
It's a cute show.
It's about a family of dinosaurs - one of them is sorta adopted (his egg ended up in the nest somehow) and they take trips on a time traveling train throughout the dinosaur time periods to meet and learn about other dinosaurs. Then at the end of each little episode a paleantologist (I know I spelled that wrong) does a little thing on the dinosaur that they learned about.
Reed watches it sometimes. I think it is cute (I think I like it more than he does). He definitely prefers it to Handy Manny, which is what is on Disney at 9:30.
Side note: He likes Bob the Builder a lot, but really dislikes Handy Manny (not sure why). At the doctors office yesterday the nurse was offering him stickers and she said "do you want a Bob the Builder sticker?" He said yes, but then she pulled out a whole pile of Manny stickers (she didn't know the difference, hahah). He said ,"no, Bob" and kept waiting for a Bob sticker. It was too cute. I ended up convincing him to take a kitten sticker because he really didn't want any of the Manny ones she was offering.
Bambino really enjoys this show and we keep a lot of episodes on the DVR. It's quite informative and exposes the kids to a variety of facts and theories re. dinos and prehistoric creatures that lived during the various time periods.
I actually saw some of the dinos at Target. They did talk to each other, but they got out of sync and it was kind of annoying. But to a kid, probably not so much. : )
thanks for all the info girls!
i dvr'd the show at my moms, my mom said they watched it once but there wasn't enough music to keep him interested.
