kid diggs!

My son had so much fun with this I had to share! I have been working on a project for my glass and stumbled upon this in my mess.

You will need regular clay, the kind that will harden(just about any hobby/craft store), and Durham's rock hard water putty(sells at Lowes), and something to press into the clay for the mold. (Bones, plastic toys ect.) You will take your clay, about 4 to 6 inches, and make a flat area enough to press the toy into, almost all the way. Then spray with water til you can wiggle it out and leave a mold into it. Then follow the instruction on the durhams putty on the mix (about 3 to 1, 3 being the mix 1 being water) and pour into your mold. Let it sit til the clay hardens (about over 1-2 nights) . Then take the kiddos outside with safety glasses and kids tools and let them chisal out their fossils! My son sat outside with a hammer on our concrete patio for hours until he got them out and was so excited about what was in the rock (clay).
