One thing we promised the kids was to make our own fossils while we were learning about dinosaurs. So we finally picked up some clay and Plaster of Paris to "dig" in to our project!
First, we rolled out our clay and decided which objects we would make into fossils. We found some cute little plastic dino's, a cool piece of wood, and some shells we've collected at the beach and pressed them into the clay. Ryan decided to make footprints too, so we ALL had to have footprints in our clay.
After that was the messy part...we spread some oil on the clay and then covered it with the Plaster of Paris.
Tick tock...while we waited the 30 minutes (an eternity for the kids) the dino's got a bath...
