Pinkfong Little Dino School
What's the Story?
In PINKFONG LITTLE DINO SCHOOL, Rex, a red tyrannosaurus, goes to school for the first time. He makes friends with Brie, the brachiosaurus, Vella, the velociraptor and Pete, the pteranodon. Together, they learn to count, recognize colors, and get to know each other through catchy tunes and dances.
Is It Any Good?
Simple and straightforward, the show manages to pack a lot in under five minutes. Though the songs are the highlight of each episode, Pinkfong Little Dino School wraps it in stories that spark curiosity and feelings of acceptance. Kids who love dinosaurs will enjoy it the most—it includes plenty of dino facts—but the catchy songs make it entertaining for all little ones.
Talk to Your Kids About ...
Families can talk about the bias that appears in Pinkfong Little Dino School. For example, when Vella, the little velociraptor, is seen as non-threatening because of her size. Do you think it's fair to judge someone based on their appearance?
Characters in the show are curious and love to learn more about everything. Do you like asking questions too?
Do you like dancing or singing? If you had to sing a song introducing yourself, how would you do it?
