It will surely bring a smile to your little ones face when you tell them they get to play with dinosaur snot 😉 Of course we just renamed Oobleck. Who named it that anyways? The consistency is so fun, hard to pick up but turns into snot when you pick it up.
Here is what we used:
1 cup cornstarch
1/2 cup water

Here are the little balls (eggs) we made this morning. We named our bouncy balls dinosaur eggs because that is the theme we are currently working on.
Here is what we used:
1/4 Cup Warm Water
1/2 Tablespoon Borax
1 Tablespoon of Cornstarch
1 Tablespoons School glue
2 Small bowls
In one bowl mix the borax and warm water
In the next bowl mix glue, cornstarch, and food coloring
Pour the borax mixture over the glue mixture and let sit for 10 seconds.
Take the glue mixture out of the water and roll together to make a ball.
**Just an fyi this ball will not completely harden. You may want to store in a plastic bag.

Here is a fun snack for the kids and a fun way to get them to try new food.
We took hard boiled eggs peeled, cut them in half and took out the yolk. Dyed them the same way you would easter eggs but without the shell. Mix the filling using your favorite deviled egg recipe and fill.

This honestly took two minutes and the kids loved it.
Here is what we used:
Paper (card stock would be best)
Scissors
Glue
Cut two triangle for toes. Fold in half without creasing and cut a slit big enough for the kids foot. Use the extra triangles to make toe nails and glue.

How cute are these little guys? I was a little doubtful due to other salt dough fails but we had no issues.
I saw these snowmen at Dollar Store Crafts and had to give it a try. Click over and see how cute hers are.
We used:
1 cup flour
1/2 cup salt
1/2 cup water
acrylic paint
2 toothpicks
Shapie
Make the dough by kneading together salt, flour, and water.
Next make three balls (I had kids do this part) and smoosh together.
My kids also colored the toothpicks with a orange marker.
Stick the toothpicks and twigs into dough before baking.
I baked them at 250 for 3hrs and let cool
Painted white with acrylic paint.
I used a sharpie for eyes and mouth and painted on bottons and a heart.

I have yet to find a kid who doesn’t like to paint. It was a little messy painting these wreaths, but worth it.
Here is what we used:
Paper
Two different size bowls
Scissors
Green paint
Red bingo dobber
Stapler
Loofah (you could use a regular sponge)
Look for two bowls a big one and a little one. Trace the big one then center the little one, trace, and cut the both out.
Pour some green paint in a bowl, dip the loofah in and dap it all around the white circle.
Use the red bingo dobber and let kids make berries in any pattern they wish.
Cut a red paper into one inch strips. Staple two together in a v as shown above. Then pull the two end down and cross to make a bow. Staple together and to the wreath at the same time.

These are a little silly looking, but I love a to try a new handprint craft each holiday. What do you think? Would you try?
Here is what we used:
Paper
Paint
Markers
Googly eyes
Paint both hands and try to position right. This is not easy with little ones, lol. That why my deer are flying 😉
Add the eye, then use marker to add extra details.
