Remember last month when I told you about geocaching, via a guest post from friend? Geocaching is a family friendly outdoor adventure
that blends technology, gaming and environmental discovery. Geocaching encourages children to explore their surroundings, use
observational skills, and have an adventure right in their own
neighborhood. Critical and creative thinking skills are necessary when
seeking a geocache, and these cornerstones of problem solving and
scientific thought are modeled and transferred to children when
geocaching with an older sibling, parent or babysitter!
The Jim Henson Company has enlisted the help of PBS stations, museums, zoos, and aquariums nationwide to hide Dinosaur Train themed geocaches. Each geocache features one of the dinosaurs found on the online Dinosaur Train Field Guide and contains educational information related to that dinosaur.
With the help of a GPS enabled device, each geocache will lead you to a safe, easy-to-access location. Visit www.geocaching.com and use keywords: PBS; Dinosaur Train; or station call letters to access an up-to-date list of Dinosaur Train geocache locations. Can't find a Dinosaur Train geocache in your viewing area? Stay tuned as we update the Dinosaur Train Geocaching webpage with instructions on how to make and hide your own Dinosaur Train geocache too!
