Dino Egg Fossils - DIY

The activity for Paleontology is a
 Dino Fossil Dig
I made my own, and so can you!
Materials, Plaster of Paris, Plastic Dino Skeletons,
Water, Plastic Cup, Mixing Tool, Egg Mold

Mix Plaster of Paris and Water, stir to pancake consistancy
Work quickly before it sets.

Pour mixture into Molds, then press Dino Skeletons into Mold.

Cover Dino's with more Plaster Mixture
When hardened (about 5 minutes) remove from mold
Repeat steps but do not press Dino Skeleton into Mold.


Place other half of Dino Egg on top of Mold

Remove from Mold after 5 minutes

Here is a nest of Dino Egg Fossils, ready to be excavated.


It is a messy project, but I can't wait to see the kids dig out the Dino Skeletons tomarrow.
