Dinosaur Eggs

The way I envision this activity to work is, have the campers make these early on in the week (it's a great listening/following directions activity, plus it's just plain fun!) and tell them to come back the next day to pick them up. Then, set up a treasure hunt that starts at the arts and craft shack and sends them all over camp to find the eggs before the dinosaur eggs hatch. They would complete the treasure hunt

What You Need:
•   2 and 1/2 cups flour
•   2 and 1/2 cups of dirt
•   1 cup sand
•   1 and 1/2 cups of salt
•   water
•   small plastic toy dinosaurs (available from toys stores)
•   rock
What You Do:
1.   To make the dough, mix all the dry ingredients together (flour, dirt, salt and sand).
2.   Gradually stir in enough water so that the mix holds together.
3.   Shape handfuls of dough around the small plastic dinosaurs in the form of egg shapes.
4.  Cook the "eggs" in the oven on a low setting.
5.   They can open them with a hammer or rock.
