Welcome to Big and Small Week! Today we’ll fly in a zeppelin with Dinosaur Train, make our own waterfall, sing a dinosaur song, and read a book.

Watch Together

In this episode of Dinosaur Train, (Season 3, Episode 23: “Zeppelin Waterfall,”) the Pteranodon family travels on the Dinosaur Train Zeppelin to visit a big waterfall. After watching, you might ask your child:

• What is a zeppelin?

• What kinds of animals live in or near waterfalls?

• Why couldn’t the Pteranodon family fly to the waterfall on their own?

• Where would you fly if you had your own zeppelin?
