PBS Kids, Sid The Science Kid, & Dinosaur Train Halloween (Giveaway!)

Halloween is right around the corner, and The Jim Henson Company has all the right ingredients for a spooky fun holiday!

Get ready for the festivities to begin with new episodes of Dinosaur Train and Sid the Science Kid! Sid the Science Kid starts off the fun with a new episode premiering on October 17th (check local listings for the correct time!) called "Spooky Science Special". Then Dinosaur Train has a new episode "Haunted Roundhouse/Big Pond Pumpkin Patch" that premieres on October 20th on PBS Kids (again check local listings for the time, since it might vary).


Don't forget costumes for TV watching fun! California Costume Collections has several official Dinosaur Train costumes, including Buddy and Tiny! They retail for $34.99 to $39.99 - check out your favorite costume shop to pick on up! If you'd rather make your own, there are directions to make a Buddy costume available online. For sew and no sew options, click this link: http://www.pbs.org/parents/dinosaurtrain/costume. To see a video of the sew version, click this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QANroqbPing.


If your kids are more into Sid the Science Kid instead of Dinosaur Train, the Sid the Science Kid Happy Halloween Black Trick-or-Treat Bag is available for $14.99 at the PBS Kids shop online. It can even be personalized!


And finally, there is a new Halloween themed book available featuring Dinosaur Train called The Spooky Scavenger Hunt from Grosset & Dunlap in which Mr. Pteranodon takes Buddy and Tiny on a nighttime trip to the Big Pond for a spooky nature walk! Mr. Pteranodon and the conductor insist they can't be scared, but when the conductor's mom jumps out at them, everyone gets a good scare! This simple storybook is perfect for read-aloud fun, and geared for ages 4 - 8. It has a suggested cover price of $3.99.
