How to Make Dinosaur Fossils

1. Pour flour, dirt and sand into a large bowl.

2. Add water to the dirt mixture and stir.

You want to stir until it’s a thick, muddy, batter consistency. You can add more dirt, sand and flour as needed if your mixture is too liquidy

3. Dip the dinos in the mixture and coat them well.

4. Place dinosaurs on a plastic wrap lined baking sheet.

5. Cover each one with a little more of the dirt mixture to make sure each one is coated well.

Cover any parts of the dinosaur that might be sticking out

6. Set the tray in the sun for a few hours until they are completely dry on top

7. Flip each fossil over and let the other side dry completely.

8. Let the kids have fun breaking the fossils apart to find the hidden dinosaurs!
