Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup baking soda
- 1/2 cup water
- Food coloring (optional)
- Small plastic dinosaurs

Instructions
- Combine ingredients: In your mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of baking soda with 1/2 cup of water. Stir until you achieve a smooth, dough-like consistency. If you wish, add a splash of food coloring and mix until it distributes evenly.
- Shape the eggs: Take small portions of the mixture and shape them around tiny plastic dinosaurs. Ensure the dinosaur is completely wrapped, forming a solid egg shape.
- Drying time: Place your eggs onto a lined baking sheet and let them dry completely. This may take several hours, so patience here pays off—consider letting them dry overnight for best results.
