Dino Dana
Best for dinosaur‑loving kids in roughly grades K–4
Dinosaur-obsessed kids often know dozens of species but haven’t connected that interest to real scientific thinking. Dino Dana is a live-action and CGI series about a young “paleontologist in training” who uses a Dino Field Guide to see dinosaurs and run experiments in her everyday world. Created as a follow-up to Dino Dan, it focuses on inquiry: Dana asks questions, forms hypotheses, and tests them—with dinos as her test subjects. Parents like that the show features a curious girl lead and grounds fantasy in real paleontology. It’s ideal for roughly ages 5–10 and works well as a gentle springboard into geology, fossils, and scientific method. Some scenarios are a bit over-the-top, and effects vary, but the heart is solid. Pro tip: after an episode, have your child design their own “field guide” page for the featured dinosaur, including a sketch, basic facts, and one question they still have.
Children’s dinosaur science series; available as part of broader streaming subscriptions (e.g., Amazon or kids’ services) or as individual digital episodes that typically cost a few dollars each to buy, depending on platform and region.
