OAK BROOK, Ill. – Toy maker Learning Curve has released more details about its all-new Dinosaur Train product line, featuring characters from the hit animated preschool series seen daily on PBS Kids. The company has teamed up with The Jim Henson Company for the toys, which will hit stores in the second half of 2010.
Combining dinosaur and vehicle play with a brand new technology, Learning Curve’s Dinosaur Train line includes interactive dinosaur action figures, collectible dinosaurs, plush, puzzles and electronic learning aids, all featuring the characters, sights, sounds and dinosaur-themed adventures from the animated series.
