This is the post (from I can't remember where) that I used for ideas:
Let's make sure we have everything we need:
Books to read?
Check!
Sample fossils to explore?
Check!
A dinosaur snack?
Check!
Shells and model dinosaurs to use for impressions?
Check!
Who knew learning about fossils could be so much fun!
Fossil Dough Recipe
1 cup used coffee grounds (I used brown decorative sand from the dollar store)
1 cup flour
1/2 cup salt
1/2 cup cold coffee (I just added cocoa to water)
Stir the together the coffee grounds, flour, and salt until they are well mixed. Then pour in the coffee a little at a time and mix until you have a soft dough. (You may not use all the coffee.) Work the dough on wax paper, freezer paper, etc. and then allow to dry for a day or two. We used sea shells, leaves, and model dinosaurs to create examples of impression fossils.
