Making Play-Doh Dinosaur Eggs

March 8, 2017 by Rosie 8 Comments

Do you have a little Dinosaur fan? Little M has been really into Dinosaurs recently. He loved watching The Good Dinosaur movie – so now it’s all about dinosaurs! He also loves playing with play-doh, so I thought it would be fun to make some play-doh dinosaur eggs!

Disclosure: Affiliates links are included. If you choose to buy through one of these links, I make a small commission. The price is the same. All opinions are my own. Thanks for your support!

All you need is some dinosaur figures and some play-doh! We used some small dinosaur erasers that we already had, but you could use any other small dinosaur figures. We used play-doh, although you could also make your own dough!

You could use single colours, or try marbling two colours together. Just roll out the play-doh, put the dino inside and roll into a ball, then shape into an egg shape. You could also try putting the dinosaurs in plastic eggs and then wrapping the doh around the egg.

I put our dinosaur eggs into a sand box with some rocks – for some extra sensory play fun! You could also hide the eggs ready for a dino egg hunt!

Sit back and watch your child open their surprise dinosaur eggs!

Do you have a dinosaur fan? What else would you do with your dinosaur play-doh eggs?

    Oh these are brilliant! Youngest loves dinosaurs. At Christmas one of her presents was a dinosaur egg that you put in water and waited for it to hatch. It took 3 days and she was so patient! 🙂 She would love this activity and making the eggs x

      Oh yes we had one of those before! Little M also loves the plaster ones that you have to ‘excavate’! We love play-doh, it’s so simple and easy and always seems to provide lots of fun! x

    Ah, this is something my Biggest would absolutely LOVE! She is always hiding things in her Play-Doh, she’d love to discover a dinosaur nest waiting for her in the living room! Thanks for the idea 🙂 #BloggerClubUK

    My 2 year old loves play doh and dinosaurs so I might have to try these! I’ve just bought a pack of tiny Dinosaur figures from the Good Dinosaur too so those would be perfect to go inside. #makeitlinky

Would you like to make some last minute Valentines this weekend? ❤️(Or maybe you're stuck in isolating like us 🤪).
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
These easy washi tape hearts are so quick and easy to make - they look really effective too! 😍
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I've posted a blog post (link in bio) but to be honest these are so simple to make.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
•Cut a heart shape from card - you could use an old piece of cereal box.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
•Tear pieces of washi tape and create a collage. See what mix of patterns and colours you can make!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
•Add a face with a black pen or goggly eyes.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
•Write a note on the back for someone special!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you don't have any washi tape you could also use left over pieces of gift wrap and stick on with glue. 🎁 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Are you giving Valentines on Monday? Are you making anything special with the kids?

I think the best Christmas decorations are the homemade ones, how about you? 🎄 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Toilet roll crafts are one of our faves as you don't need much to make them - it also reuses those cardboard tubes!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
These Santa Claus and Mrs Claus toilet roll ornaments are really easy to make with just a few materials. Inspire children to make their own Santa 🎅 or Mrs Claus 🤶 - or perhaps they might decide to make their own Christmas characters!

Do your kids like to make homemade Christmas ornaments?
Hello!👋 Rosie here! It’s been a while! How Hello!👋 

Rosie here! 
It’s been a while! How was your summer? I hope you had a break from routine?

I took a social media break so I could focus on just ‘being’ this summer. It’s been a challenging year for us all and sometimes it’s good to take a step back and focus on what matters. ❤️

I love this photo of me and my gang (we are about to go on a pony trek!) 🐎 It sums up our summer - getting outdoors, trying new things and most of all, spending time together. 🥰

I also wholeheartedly recommend a visit to @pembreycountrypark in Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 where this picture was taken. We loved it so much we could have spent much more than a day there!

Did you have a break from routine this summer? What did you get up to?
What can you create with a wooden spoon?!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We've had a go at making some wooden spoon people puppets! 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
These were so fun and easy to make. Your children can use their imagination to create any different characters that they like! 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Some of the ideas my kids came up with were: mermaids, ladies with pretty dresses and super heroes. Scroll to see some of the finished results!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I hope your children have as much fun making these wooden spoon people puppets are much as mine did. Once you’ve made your puppets you can go ahead and put on a puppet show!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Have you used wooden spoons for your kids to craft with? What did you make?
Stick Fairy! 🧚‍♀️ I put this on my stor Stick Fairy! 🧚‍♀️ 

I put this on my stories, but then thought was too cute to not share properly! 💚

This wonderful stick fairy idea came from @mothernatured 👏 
I made one for the woodland playgroup I co-run and the children loved making their own versions! 💚

I recommend using dry sticks. Use pva glue and leave to dry thoroughly. Some of our group also found tying leaves on with yarn worked really well too!

Do you like to make nature crafts with your kids? 🌲

Do you have a Peter Rabbit fan in your house? My daughter adores the Peter Rabbit books and the tv show. How about your children? 🥕 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We love making our own toys from recycled bits and bobs in the house, so decided to have a go at making a Peter Rabbit figure using a toilet roll! ✂️ 

You can make this Peter Rabbit toilet roll DIY with an empty toilet roll and a few bits and pieces from the craft box.

Do you like making recycled crafts? Does it feel like spring where you are? 🌸

We love using washi tape in crafts, especially homemade cards. It’s so fun and easy to use and looks really effective. Why not give it a try? 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You can make these washi tape cards for any occasion. Your kids will enjoy coming up with their own designs. Search ‘washi tape cards’ on the blog for full tutorial.
