This afternoon Braden and I made some dinosaur fossils. I had originally thought I would use salt dough, but realized I didn't really want to keep them around or store them. So, I decided to make play-dough instead. We could easily make temporary fossils and then store the play-dough to be used again someday! I found a few recipes on Pinterest and made two batches for now.
I waited for them to cool down and as soon as I started kneading them Braden wanted to play too. The first step was helping him realize that they were not balls to be thrown. He just kept dropping them on the floor. So, I kept saying "squish, squish, squish" and tried to show him what to do. Apparently it looked like I was doing a little dance as I squished the play-dough from one hand to the other, because he started imitating me...

Tonight we also did a little bit of painting to make a triceratops.
