Last November, PBS Kid’s EMMY NOMINATED Dinosaur Train encouraged its tiny viewers to get outside, get into nature and make their own discoveries by introducing new Nature Trackers Club episodes. Now, the Nature Trackers fun continues with the launch of the Nature Trackers Club online! Parents can download monthly nature-related activities to complete with their children, and even win prizes along the way!
Murals Your Way creates
beautiful, full-color wall murals in 15 different Dinosaur Train

clubhouse! No paint, no mess, and the vinyl material won’t damage walls
or peel paint! Visit Murals Your Way to view and order your favorite Dinosaur Train mural, in ANY size to fit your child’s bedroom, playroom or even daycare!
Stay tuned, as I will be sharing photos of my daughter's playroom transformed into a Dinosaur Train Nature Trackers Clubhouse, thanks to Murals Your Way. I chose this scene, which I can't wait to see on the wall.
Savannah is a huge Dinosaur Train fan. We have to watch it every morning on PBS, and sometimes catch it again in the afternoon when it repeats, or even on the PBS iPad app. As soon as the Dinosaur Train theme song plays, I have it stuck in my head most of the day. At first, I didn't know why Savannah was so into this animated cartoon series, as it was about dinosaurs, but after sitting down and watching it with her (as her father usually watched it with her), I found out why. These dinosaurs are so cute, you can help but love them. And, they go on adventures as a family, to see other dinosaurs. Then, at the end of the show, a real-life paleontologist comes on and talks about the dinosaurs featured in that episode. So, not only are children enjoying this fun animated series, but they are learning about dinosaurs and how they lived long ago. What a great teaching tool!
Even though my daughter is a huge Dinosaur Train fan, I did not know until recently about the Nature Trackers Club and their website. But, after spending some time on the website and completing the January and February challenges with Savannah, we are now hooked. You should see the terrarium we made for February's challenge. Savannah helps me take care of it daily. Not only is she learning about responsibility, but she is developing a green thumb early on, which is great!
