Dinosaur Fossils
Can you research what fossils are? Once you have read about fossils, can you make your very own?
You will need:
- 1 cup salt
- 2 cups flour
- 3/4 cup water
- dinosaur toys (small sizes are best)
1. Combine salt, flour, and water in a small bowl or dish. Mix well until a soft dough forms.
2. When the dough forms, pinch off small fistfuls to shape into flattened rounds, similar to the shape and size of a cookie. Press your dinosaur toy into the dough.
3. Repeat step 2 with each dinosaur. The dough should yield about 6 fossil discs.
4. An adult will need to do this step as ovens are hot! Bake at 200 degrees until your fossils are dry. The amount of time needed to bake depends on size and thickness; thin, flat fossils may only take 45-60 minutes, and thicker fossils can take 2-3 hours or more.
