For kids, train two dragons (4-4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

puff-puff

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'for kids train' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'two dragons' is the wordplay.
'two' indicates the doubling of some letters.
'dragons' becomes 'puff' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'puff' doubled is 'PUFF-PUFF'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for puff-puff that I've seen before include "Child's train" , "Choo-choo" , "Steam locomotive" .)
