Description
A hands-on craft that combines creativity and science by letting kids create and excavate their own frozen dinosaur eggs.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups baking soda
- 1 cup water
- Plastic dinosaur toys
- Food coloring (optional)
- Baking pan or mold
- Freezer-safe container
- Spoon for mixing
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine baking soda and water until you have a thick paste. If desired, add a few drops of food coloring for vibrant egg shells.
- Place a dinosaur toy at the bottom of your baking pan or mold. Spoon the mixture over the toy, ensuring it’s fully covered.
- Transfer the container to your freezer and let it set for at least 120-240 minutes.
- Once frozen, carefully remove the eggs from the mold. You may need to let them sit at room temperature for a minute to loosen them.
- Take your Frozen Dinosaur Eggs outdoors, and let the excavation fun begin. Use water to melt away the baking soda and reveal the dinosaurs!
Notes
Consider using different molds like ice cube trays or balloons for unique shapes. Adult supervision is recommended for younger children.
