Exploding Dinosaur Mud!

April 12, 2022February 16, 2015 by Stephanie Oswald

Fizzing Dinosaur Eggs and Exploding Mud!

Exploding Dinosaur Mud: Science Experiments with bi-carb ROAR! These dinosaurs are stuck in the mud! They need a magic potion to set them free from their lava rocks!

Fizz, bubble, and pop—your child will have a blast freeing dinosaurs from the sticky mud!

This simple yet hugely exciting science activity will have your budding Paleontologist enthralled as the rocks burst open when exposed to the magic solution.

To make our rocks we used the same materials that we have used for our Love Potion #9, with a slight twist. Making these magical rocks is incredibly easy {so easy your kids can help} and a lot of fun…always a bonus for busy parents right?

Playdough Dinosaur Fossils

Playdough Dinosaur Fossils: Explore print making, matching, and types of dinosaurs with this simple playdough activity! This is even a great activity for some dramatic dinosaur play!

When it comes to favorite toys in our house right now there are three that are battling each other for the first place: Dinosaurs, Legos/Duplos, and Playdough…

So, getting two of the favorites into one simple hands on activity? Major win! This activity kept my little man entertained long enough for me to get the dining room cleaned up and vacuumed from our Dino Dirt activity [which was brilliantly fun and horribly messy]…

Excavating Dinosaurs from Ice!

Excavating Dinosaurs: Science, water play, and fine motor development all wrapped up in a fun, cool learning activity!

This Dinosaur activity was an extremely simple set up that kept my kiddos entertained and exploring science for over an hour!

We had an absolute blast with this activity! I thought that the kids might find it a tad frustrating as it takes forever to get those little dinosaurs out of their icy eggs, but it was the opposite! This activity was PERFECT for keeping them entertained for a good long time while exploring and having fun!

Candy Heart Goopy Slime

December 9, 2020January 27, 2015 by Stephanie Oswald

Conversation Hearts Goop! Some messy gooey Valentine’s Day fun! These candy hearts make for perfect Valentine’s early learning play! We have used them for a quick color sorting game, observation science, and in our love potion #9! This time we made a great science sensory activity of goopy candy heart slime or sometimes called oobleck!

Goop is a pretty amazing sensory experience! Is it a liquid or a solid? Or is it Both?!

Oobleck is what is called a non-Newtonian Fluid. When pressure is exerted on it like squishing it or scooping it up, it acts like a solid. When there is no pressure exerted on it, it flows like a liquid. Scoop it up with a spoon like a solid and watch as it slowly melts off the spoon like a liquid. Amazing!
