Today's activity is a Dinosaur Dig! We will uncover creatures from inside the "rocks" in your Mystery Box, and we will set up and dig into some "frozen fossils" as well!

Be prepared to be patient for the frozen fossils, it will take several hours for your creatures to become preserved in ice.

Part 1

Part 2

Note: It is very important to wear gloves when touching ice and salt. I assumed that this small quantity of salt would not pose any risk of a chemical burn but you cannot be too careful! Wear gloves (winter, latex, any type) if you are going to touch your frozen fossils or do this activity inside a bowl, a sink, or a bathtub where the ice does not need to be held steady and you can just use your tools.
