This activity presents a fun way to play paleontologist on a hot day!
Supplies needed:
- A shallow baking dish such as a 9x13 inch baking pan
- Several small plastic dinosaur toys
Instructions:
Arrange a few plastic dinosaurs on the bottom of the pan, and then fill the pan two-thirds full with water. Place pan in the freezer and freeze until you have a solid block of ice.
To excavate, remove the ice block from the pan and put it outside. Let the kids chip out the toys with metal spoons and butter knives. They could also experiment with melting the ice by pouring small amounts of warm water over the ice.
