Create salt dough by following the recipe. Then, have the child press a small toy dinosaur into a
flattened ball of dough. When the child removes the dinosaur, you will be able to see an impression
of it in the dough. It will look like a fossil. Salt dough will dry and keep the impressions.
Pages 12-17: Feed the Dinosaurs Exhibit - The sign will let your visitors know the name of the
exhibit. Cut out around the dinosaurs and inside their mouths. Tape each dinosaur over a bowl or
plastic container. Cut out the food items and put them in a sensory bin. Have the child find the food
in the sensory bin and feed the correct dinosaur.
