What do many kids think about come Easter time? Eggs and sweets usually top the list? Well, the Easter holiday season is almost here! In addition to filling Easter baskets this year with chocolate Easter bunnies and yellow chicks from the store, why not get the entire family together to make homemade treats that everyone can enjoy! It’s even more fun when you can decorate them with your favorite Dinosaur Train characters! How about baking a cake in the shape of an Easter egg and decorate it with the Dinosaur Train Cake Decorating set or top yummy cupcakes with Dinosaur Train Cupcake Rings, featuring Buddy and Tiny, from DecoPac.
And in the spirit of the Easter egg hunt tradition, Dinosaur Train offers a new twist!
Available this month (March), young fans can watch the characters from Dinosaur Train hatch from their eggs and grow 4x their size with Hatchers! You just take the egg like the one in the picture below...
Just place the egg in water...
And leave it in the the water over night and wait for it to crack!
And when your child wakes up in the morning you've got this fun little Dino friend waiting for them! How cute is he!
These would make a great unique gift for your child to find inside their Easter Baskets instead of the typical Easter egg!
And, the Dinosaur Train Eggspress application, now for iPhone, iPod and iPad ($2.99), challenges your child to find and match dinosaur eggs and then reunite dinosaur families while progressing through three different time periods. Your child will discover real flora and fauna from the Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous eras.
Along the way, there will be learning moments as Buddy and the Conductor reveal mystery dinosaur hatchlings, fun dinosaur facts, and an adorable Dinosaur Baby Book. All aboard! Check out this review from Geek Dad: http://www.wired.com/geekdad/tag/dinosaur-train/
