To finish up "Dinosaur Week", the students at All About Children childcare center created a dinosaur tooth keepsake to take home!

Materials

Styrofoam cup

sand

water

dinosaur tooth model

Plaster of Paris

Making the Dinosaur Teeth

1. Fill a Styrofoam cup with moist sand.



2. Press a dinosaur tooth model into the sand in order to create a mold. [NOTE: The tooth needs to be pressed decently hard into the sand because the shape needs to hold. It might work better to have an adult complete this step.]



3. Fill the newly created mold with Plaster of Paris and let sit overnight.
4. Remove the tooth replica when dry!
