Dinosaur Fossils

Well obviously we made dinosaur fossils. Here's the recipe I used:

1 cup cheap table salt

2 cups flour

1 cup warm water tinted brown (I used the instructions on the back of the food colouring box)

I also mixed this in my stand mixer since it called for 5 minutes of kneading and I thought the kids would lose interest. Also, the brown food colouring didn't work so good, it looked pinkish when it mixed up, and you can't add food colouring after the fact, it just blobs up. I'd like to try coffee grounds, but I'd have to steal them. 

Roll out, make Dino imprints, and bake at 300 for at least 2 hours. Warning: it smells kind of weird while baking. 

Cool completely then paint them! The more colourful, the less realistic, but whatever, I tried to let go. Can you guess which one I painted?

I think we will bury them in the sandbox and then dig them up! It just needs to warm up a little bit more.
