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.

Reviews
Last shape won’t stay
David "Rico" Fisher
I saw another review from 2 years ago that had the same problem, sadly problem still not fixed. The last shape on the tangram puzzles will not click in. It’s too bad because otherwise kids loved it and had nice educational value
No sound

We were so looking forward to this app, but no sound. Please make a fix very soon!
No sound

Bought for my two year old. No sound only 3 games. Too simple. I don't recommend.
Doesn't work

No sound. Found reviews on other sites- parents having the same issue there too. Kids can't play the games if they can't hear the instructions. Disappointing.
3 yr old loves Classic in the Jurassic
Fell2Earth
Really great app. Bridge building is great math skills & my son will grow into this well. Sorting the creatures into their houses is good & he occasionally needs help. Never had a technical problem. Great app. Worth every penny.
Kids enjoy the app...

Both my kids enjoy the app, but as a parent I wish they would expand a little more on the educational side, e.g. Improving the math teaching concepts in the bridge building game. I had written a previous review complaining about audio not working only to realize I had muted my iPad with the switch.
So many glitches!!
Veggmom
I think this game could be sooo cute and educational. But there are so many glitches that one of the games you can't play, another the dinosaur keeps repeating himself, it skips and the list goes on. PLEASE PBS fix it! If you are going to make people pay for your games make it worth the money I've downloaded free apps the work better. Very upsetting. October 27,2014
Working great and then stop
Dewey Loves Moose
I've had this app for little over year was working wonderfully until the other day when I couldn't get the trains to work for my son. It's his favorite part of the whole app and it's the only thing that won't work.. Not happy
