Dino Egg Creations
Wed, June 17, 2 PM, Blue Ridge
Use special air-dry clay and “fossilizing” paint to craft realistic-looking dinosaur eggs. But there’s a secret— hidden inside every egg is a tiny dinosaur waiting to hatch! Once your egg is dry, you can display it in your room as a prehistoric artifact, or you can become a paleontologist and “dig” your dinosaur out of its shell. Best for ages 6-11.
