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 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.

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.
