Fatuity Fun
Ready For A Modern Day Treasure Hunt?
(NAPS)---It's time to turn
an ordinary outing with your
preschooler into a great
adventure! Now, with the help
of a popular TV show for kids
and a high-tech game for all
ages, parents and kids have
the tools to get outside, get
into nature and make their
own discoveries.
Dinosaur Train
The Jim Henson
Company's hit television
series, "Dinosaur Train" on
PBS KIDS ®, embraces and
celebrates the fascination that
preschoolers have with both
dinosaurs and trains. The pro-
gram encourages basic sci-
entific thinking skills as the
audience learns about life sci-
ence, natural history and pale-
ontology. It's all seen through
the eyes of Buddy, a preschool-
aged Tyrannosaurus Rex.
Buddy and his adoptive fam-
ily of Pteranodons go for
adventures on the Dinosaur
Train to meet all kinds of
dinosaurs in the Cretaceous,
Jurassic and Triassic periods
and learn fascinating new
facts about these incredible
creatures.
Geocaching
The fast-growing, family-
friendly hide-and-seek game
that combines technology
with outside adventure is
called Geoeaching. Pla,ers
hide and seek out containers
called "caches" using a Global
Positioning System (GPS)
device• These real hidden
treasures are typically small
waterproof boxes and contain
a logbook to sign and any
number of tokens to trade.
Each Dinosaur Train cache
highlights one of the
dinosaurs listed in the show's
online field guide and may
also include figurines and
stickers, Several museums,
zoos and aquariums are also
participating in Dinosaur
Train geocaching.
TM & O'l'he Jim Hanson Company
"Dinosaur Train'TV series
encourages children and
parents to explore.
Why Dinosaur Train and
Geocaehing?
Geocaching encourages chil-
dren to explore their sur-
roundings, use observational
skills and have an adventure
right in their own neighbor-
hood. Geoeaching with a
grown-up can help children
develop critical- and creative-
thinking skills. Families can
enjoy a Dinosaur Train
Geocache adventure or any
kind of field trip all year long.
To help plan your outing,
here are a few hints:
1. Do your homework.
Research the destination. Try
visiting its website or calling
to ask about guided tours,
restrooms and eating facili-
ties.
2. Teach your kids about
your destination. Tell them
the history; use maps and pic-
tures. Discuss what will hap-
pen or what they'll see. Let
them know why you're going
to the particular place and its
significance. The more they
know, the more they'll enjoy
the trip.
3. Be prepared. Bring a
backpack with firsaid equip-
ment, a camera, paper and
crayons. Have your children
draw their favorite part of
the field trip.
