Dinosaur Fossils

We are continuing our dinosaur theme and today we made some dinosaur fossils.

Here’s what you’ll need: some modeling clay and some small dinosaurs.

Explore the modeling clay for a few minutes, it’s fun to play with.  I asked Hailey questions about what it felt like and smelled like, etc.

Then roll the clay into a ball.

Then press it down nice and flat.

Press a dinosaur into the clay hard enough to leave an impression.

Here’s the finished fossils.  It takes a few days for them to completely dry.  Once they dry you can add them to a sand box and then pretend to be archaeologists digging for dinosaur fossils.
