These homemade fossils were a huge hit!! A wonderful way to experience first hand how dinosaur fossils actually look like even if they’re just pretend. It’s the best way to teach little kiddos how fossils were formed and how dinosaurs were dug by scientists.
Recipe for my fossil dough:
1. Make a 3/4 cup instant coffee (need not to be hot).
2. 1 and a half cup of flour
3. Half cup of salt
Mix everything, just like how you do with play dough.
Press press press those dino figures in the dough :)
Bake the dough (after pressing the dino in the dough) at 180C for 30-35mins.

I LOVE this idea! I think it would be a great one, as my children would have a blast digging them out and then getting to keep the 'fossils' after. I can already see doing this with many other things, frogs, bugs, etc - to show the same thing. Thanks for the idea!
