Summer Camp - Dinosaurs

 Roooar!  It's dinosaur time!


Plastic Dinosaurs - Each kiddo got to pick out a dinosaur.  I found these for $1 each at Walmart, in the toy section.

Dinosaur Shirts - A couple of kiddos came decked out and ready for the day ...

 

Fossilized Dinosaur Eggs - First off we cracked open some ancient eggs to find our very own dinosaur pets!

Dinosaur egg recipes: Here! and Here! and Here! and post:  Here!

 

Dinosaur Caves - We decided our little dinosaur pets needed a safe home.  We created a cave as well as a habitat around it that provided water and food for our pet.  One kiddo drew a hamburger for his dinosaurs to eat.

I used Dial soap boxes.  I buy this kind of soap because it comes in these fabulous boxes!

Dinosaurs Meet Pirates - I'm not sure who won this battle, but it was epic.
 
Frozen Volcanoes - If you're going to do dinosaurs, you have to include a volcano or two.  The kiddos added lava (vinegar) to their (baking soda) volcanoes.  

 

 I added enough water to baking soda to create a dough that would form, then hand formed these mini volcanoes, and put them in the freezer.   The kiddos used vinegar (dyed with food coloring) for lava.  I got the idea from this blog:  Here!

Snack - Dinosaur Eggs - Rice Krispie treats with about 8 crushed Oreos formed into eggs.  Especially tasty.

Water Play - Always a favorite. 

Dinosaur Mud - Chocolate Soap Foam - Ms. Sara created soapy mud for the dinosaurs to play in.

 Easy clean up.  I got the idea on this blog:  Here!

The trucks came out to play and I made several more batches of soap foam, but just used food coloring instead of the cocoa powder.

Jello Tar Pits - Oh No! - There are dinosaurs trapped!  We must free them, but how?  Grab a spoon...

The kiddos LOVED this.  They ate the Jello for a bit, then just had fun scooping and stomping and etc.  I saw this idea on this blog:  Here!
