New Handycrafts: fossil

Diy Imitation Fossils!

Here's an activity that's fun for kids of all ages!

Faux Fossils!

Perfect for a piddling scientific discipline lesson!

First nosotros bought a bucket of Air Dry clay.

It's shine as well as slow to operate with.

It's form of tan/gray when it's wet...but dries white!

Give each shaver a ball nigh the size of a golf game ball

They tin gyre it out smooth...

And as well as then press it flat...about 1/2 inch thick.

Then accept piddling things similar seashells, rocks, leaves or fifty-fifty a trilobite

and gently press them into the clay...

leaving behind subtle fossil-like imprints!

We used a straw to poke a hole inward them...and
laid upward them inward the Sun to dry.

They could live on painted...

And worn similar a necklace...or hung on the Christmas tree!

Fingerprints are adorable too!

Linking upward to THESE parties this week!
