We also made some ice fossils. The kids thought this was BEYOND fun! I got the idea from HERE.
We had everything on hand, so it was a free and very fun project.
SUPPLIES:
– toy dinosaurs
– tupperware
– water
– food coloring (optional)
DIRECTIONS:
1. Fill your tupperware with water half way and add your dinosaurs. Mine floated, but don’t worry about that just yet.
2. Add food coloring.
3. Freeze in the freezer.
4. Take out your tupperware once it is completely froze. I did mine over night.
5. Now add more water to the top so dinosaurs are completely covered.
6. Take out your ice block. I ran my tupperware under hot water for a few seconds to help loosen it up.
7. This is the fun part… crack your ice open. We did this by dropping it on the cement. It was super fun!! LOL!
8. We broke away the rest with a small hammer. We got the rest of the ice off by putting it under hot water.
The kids thought this was the coolest activity because they felt like they were really “digging” out the dinosaurs and un-freezing them. I felt a little Encino Man-ish myself, if I’m going to be honest, but it was FUN!!
