Dinosaur Treasure Eggs

Dinosaur Treasure Eggs

Hide these eggs around the yard and allow the children to discover them and open them with a smash of a child's hammer or a larger rock.

What you need

2 1/2 cups flour
2 1/2 cups of dirt
1 cup sand
1 1/2 cups of salt
Water
Small Plastic toy dinosaurs
(available from toys stores)
Hammer

Instructions

These treasure eggs are great for classroom activities.

To make the dough mix all the dry ingredients together: flour, dirt, salt and sand. Gradually stir in enough water so that the mix holds together.

Shape handfuls of dough around the small plastic dinosaurs into egg shapes.

Give these rocks up to 4 days to dry rock hard.

If you are looking for an airdrying clay as an alternative I highly recommend Das Airdrying white clay  I have been using it for over 30 years and it never fails me.
