Here’s an EGGcellent craft! How to make a dinosaur egg!

What will you need?

• PVA glue + water to make paper mache mix.
• Strips of newspaper/paper
• Paintbrush
• String (to hang it)
• Balloon
• Scissors
• Paint (optional)
• Adult supervision and help

Develops: hand eye coordination, fine motor skills and creative thinking. 

Step 1: Blow up a balloon. Mix pva glue and water together. Put the strips of newspaper/paper on the balloon and cover in the glue/water solution.

Step 2:  Keep going until you’ve done at least two layers of paper (the more layers, the stronger the egg)

Step 3: Tie string to your balloon and hang somewhere to dry (probably overnight)

Step 4: (best bit!) pop the balloon!!

Step 5: Carefully use scissors (adults do this!!) to cut open the ‘egg’ and (if available) put in your dinosaur toy! You could also extend this activity to paint the egg.
