How to begin:

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 then you can let the kids discover them in the school yard and they can open them with a hammer or rock.

They are great for discovery projects and lessons linked to dinosaurs.
