Dinosaur Fossils

One of the ideas on our Summer Fun List was to do Dinosaur Fossils so after searching around I found this cool idea on Pinterest over at Summer Campground Director and my kids had such a blast doing it.  


Of course they loved putting all the ingredients together because it was messy it just makes it that much better.

After mixing up all the goodies we made up the eggs by making little patties and putting the dinosaur in the middle and packing them really good. 

After waiting 4 days it was finally time to crack them open and find their Dino prize.  

They had a great time doing this and most of the ingredients for the mix was either in my backyard or in my pantry.  You can get all the ingredients and the full tutorial over at Summer Camp Director.


So another check on the Summer Fun List and some happy boys.  

Summer Fun List

Summer is here and my little boys are wanting to be fully entertained.  So we sat down together the other day and came up with a list of all the fun stuff we should do.  Some of it things we would normally do but a lot of really fun places and things we have never done before.  

 As we do each item we have been taking a picture so we can do a book at the end so they have memories of their fun summer. 

I can't just let them only have fun, so I have been trying to sneak in a little learning while we are at it.  The kids each helped me come up with a list of Places, Things & Animals that they would like to learn about.  So I have found a Story, Craft and some facts for each of these.  I find this is something good to do on a rainy day.  While the youngest doesn't really understand the facts he does like the stories and the craft so I find it is fun for all kiddies. 

Throughout the summer I will give some updates on all the fun activities we have completed off of our list.

What have you been doing to keep your kids active throughout the summer?
