Two Dinosaur Excavating Activities!
Here are two fun dinosaur excavating activities that are super fun for kids! Great boredom busters and science activities all in one. I’m especially looking forward to ice excavating for the first time with Mac this summer!
Activity #1: Ice Excavating Dinosaurs
Ice excavating is one of our favorite summer activities. Click here to see how we’ve done it in the past with small toys and tools! This is such a fun activity to do with friends. Here is a fun dinosaur twist!
Step 1: Fill a balloon with water and a tiny dinosaur and then freeze!
Step 2: Use water droppers to slowly melt the ice or use small hand tools to create a “chisel” affect. See my whole post on the Little Passport website!
Activity #2: Dinosaur Surprise Soap
Step 1: Grate Ivory soap and form around a tiny dinosaur toy.
Step 2: Use a bit of water to really make it stick together.
Step 3: Let dry and watch the dinosaur slowly “hatch” during bath time! See my whole post on the Little Passport website!

July 3, 2017 at 6:52 pmWhen my kids were young, their teacher led them on a “dinosaur egg” hunt. She told them it would have to be big. The successful conclusion led to a delicious watermelon!
