Dinosaur Train Hatchers Review & Cake Decorating Set Giveaway (Ends 4/28)

~~The giveaway is now CLOSED. Congrats to winner Rachel!~~

This Easter was particularly fun for my son. In addition to the traditional egg hunt, he also had the opportunity to watch his favorite Dinosaur Train character Buddy hatch from a dinosaur egg and grow 4 times bigger with Hatchers! I've included a slide show below to show you how exciting the hatching process was.

Hatchers are produced by Uncle Milton and retails for $4.99 each. You may choose from popular Dinosaur Train characters like Buddy, Tiny, Shiny and Don or collect all of them. The hatching takes 24-48 hours to complete. It shows kids that it takes time for eggs to crack and for baby dinosaurs to grow. It's interesting that the figurine will shrink when taken out of water and will continue to grow once put back in water. I explained to my son that he needs to drink a lot of water in order to grow taller. He took my hypothesis seriously and started to drink more water :)

You could add more fun this Easter by decorating homemade treats with your favorite Dinosaur Train characters! Check out these cute Dinosaur Train Cake Decorating set and Dinosaur Train Cupcake Rings.

Plus, use the Dinosaur Train Eggspress application, for iPhone, iPod and iPad ($2.99), to challenge 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.
