We are currently studying fossils and dinosaurs as we are reading “The Enormous Egg”, by Oliver Butterworth. We made these Four Types of Fossils Models. Each student needed one individual package of model magic and a plastic dinosaur skeleton and a plastic dinosaur (I got these from the dollar store)! The kids had a great time and they learned a lot in the process!

I teach all subjects, but I am at a STEM school and science is my favorite!
Big thumbs up for wonderful material. I must say that I
am floored your page is so far down in the listings.
I think it was on page 5…. and pages 1 through 4 had extremely little relevant info which I could use.
Man, the big g has truly gone to the toliet.
Can I ask how you showed the cast fossil making the difference between it and the true form distinguishable ? Really love the idea. Big thumbs up
Hi there! We used a dinosaur skeleton for the cast and a dinosaur for the true form.
Love this idea. Having trouble finding dinosaur skeletons – I’ve checked dollar stores, Walmart, Target – all the usual places. Any suggestions?
you can order dino skeletons to assemble on Amazon. The kids loved doing these.
These are the small ones (2 inches across).
