Description
*Now available in ENGLISH and SPANISH*
The hit PBS KIDS show Dinosaur Train welcomes you to the Dinosaur Train Classic in the Jurassic, Jr.!, a unique bilingual app designed to help preschoolers develop and build on valuable math skills as they play with shape puzzles, pan balances, sorting and counting activities.
Track Stars
Use geometric shapes to build train cars, then decorate your train, add passengers, and watch it drive down the track!
Bridge Builder
Help build bridges so the dinosaurs can get around Troodon Town! Drag your finger to measure the distance between two points, then choose the two sets of logs that equal the right length to complete the bridge.
Chow Time
Add food to the scale until it’s balanced to feed the hungry dinosaurs! When you’ve got it right, watch them chow down.
All-Star Sorting
The dinosaurs want to go to their houses! Put the dinosaurs in order by height to get them to the house they belong to.

Ratings and Reviews
Some fun, some bugs
Good mini games, with some educational value, but the bugs are really frustrating for kids and parents both.
Unclear Prompts + Advanced Shape Puzzle Doesn’t Always Work
My kid likes to play this because she loves Dinosaur Train, but it requires too much adult intervention.
- The game where you put dinosaurs in a designated order has particularly unclear prompts, and it frustrated her.
- In the game where you design your train, you have to complete a shape puzzle. In the “Medium” and “Hard” difficulties, not all of the shape combinations that *should* work do work. This is egregiously buggy and I had to explain to a confused child that she was doing it right and that her game was broken.
Overall, a disappointment.
Good game, but...
I love this game and I even repaired the *broken* Dinosaur Train Toy! (Sadly, I couldn’t repair the motor on the engine. But I made my own Dinosaur Train engine from scratch.) Although the game is great, my favorite game on here (Track Stars) has trouble with the last piece. Luckily, that doesn’t happen often when I’m playing Track Stars. Anyways, good job, PBS.
