DINO DAN DVD Four Pack Review/Giveaway

Have you ever wondered why kids are so enthralled with dinosaurs?  R O A R !

Dino DanZane is at the age where he is obsessed with dinosaurs! Seriously, I think dinosaur might have been his third of forth word. He loves everything about dinosaurs and gets excited when he gets to see them on some of his favorite shows. I am very proud to say that Zane, at 2.5, can identify a tyrannosaurus!

One of Zane’s favorite shows is DINO DAN, which is the award-winning live-action, CGI adventure series airing nightly on Nick Junior at 5p.m.  DINO DAN stars 18 true-to-life, photo-real dinosaurs alongside Jason Spevack (Fever Pitch; Sunshine Cleaning) as Dan “Dino Dan” Henderson.

What is Dino Dan about?Dino Dan

Dino Dan is an ordinary 10-year old boy with an extraordinary obsession: he eats, sleeps and breathes dinosaurs. A typical day for Dan isn’t complete unless he’s racing a T-Rex on his school track, finding a Pterodactylus in his attic or getting a baby Brachiosaurus back to its mom. But kids don’t need to imagine dinosaurs because in Dino Dan, dinosaurs lurk around every corner, they’re behind every mystery, they fuel every adventure, and they help answer questions, too!

Dino Dan

Dino Dan also specializes in getting his contrasting crew of classmates and teachers engaged in his larger-than-life adventures. Not only are Dino Dan‘s adventures incredibly fun, they’re also incredibly educational, as each episode centers around a common kid issue like having to play with your little brother, going to the dentist, or trying to win at hide ‘n’ seek. These, naturally, lead Dan to wonder how the dinosaurs would act in a similar situation.

Dino Dan Disk 3

As Dino Dan comes up with a dino question or experiment to test his theories, he’s also teaching kids about science. If his first theory proves false, Dan comes up with a partial answer or discovers new information to help him resolve the question. Then Dan discovers a new way of tackling the experiment and the problem is resolved.  And since the dinos in Dino Dan don’t speak, high-five, or use deductive reasoning, Dan and his pals work with the dinos’ instincts as part of their scientific method for proving theories.

 

Dino Dan DVDs are now available in a special 4-pack through NCircle Entertainment.  With a suggested retail price of $24.99 for four DVDs – Ready, Set, DINO!; Dino Trackers; To Catch a Dino! and Cretaceous Creatures! – the Dino Dan 4-pack also includes a bonus augmented reality feature on the DVD package that, when the code is scanned, brings dinosaurs to life!  The four-pack is available at Target stores nationwide!

    My daughter likes Dino Dan, she’s moved onto other shows, but my toddler LOVES Dan, or more like it, the dinos. He’s got a poster of Dan in his room 🙂

    Not that I know of have my granddaughter seen Dino Dan, but when they went to California this summer they passed the dinosaurs on I 40 and were very excited and one of my granddaughter has a large plastic t – rex that she got at a museum gift store and she likes it. I think they would enjoy these.

    My 5 year old daughter loves Dino Dan. She always asks me if dinosaurs are still alive and where she can see them. She gets teary eyed when I tell her they’ve been gone for a long time now. 🙂
