Labor Day Rewind: We made a quick trip to Camden to visit with Nana and Papa. They surprised Walker and Kathryn with homemade dinosaur eggs. The eggs were buried in the sandbox (as seen in the first picture), so not only did the kiddos have a fun time digging for the eggs, but then they were able to crack them open!
They saved an egg for Little Miss who especially enjoyed wearing her safety glasses. 
Thank you, Nana, for sharing your recipe!!!Dinosaur Eggs
What you need:
- 1 cup flour
- 1 cup used coffee grinds
- 1/2 cup salt
- 1/4 cup sand
- 3/4 cup water
- mixing bowl
- small plastic toy dinosaurs
What you do:
1. Mix all the dry ingredients together in a mixing bowl.2. Slowly add the water and knead with your hands until the mixture is like bread dough.
3. Break off a piece of dough and roll it into approximately the size of a tennis ball.
4. Make a hole with your finger in the center of the ball big enough to hide the dinosaurs inside.5. Put a tiny dinosaur inside of each egg. Plug the hole with some extra dough.
6. You can let your dinosaur egg air dry for several days until hard. If you are in a hurry you can choose to bake the dinosaur egg in the oven on a cookie sheet at 150 degrees for 15-20 minutes.
NOTE: If you want them you eggs colored add 1 tablespoon of powder tempera paint to tint your eggs when mixing different colors.
