Fun Facts About Dinosaur Eggs
Dinosaurs laid eggs, just like many reptiles and birds today. Some eggs were about the size of a chicken egg, while others were more than 16 inches long. When an egg was buried in the ground, it could slowly turn to stone – that’s a fossil egg. Fossil eggs and nests have been found in many places around the world. Because birds descended from dinosaurs, living relatives of the dinos still lay eggs today.
What to Do With Your Finished Dino Egg
Shape your own dino egg out of salt dough or clay and paint it once it’s dry. Hide it in the yard and let the others hunt for it. Or make up a story: which dino would hatch if the egg popped open?
