Dinosaur Fossil Playdough Activity

Jump to Section

This Dinosaur Fossil Playdough Activity would be perfect for imaginative play and a fun sensory activity for your kids!

Are your kids big dinosaur lovers? Are they going through a phase where it’s T-Rex this or Apatosaurus that? Don’t worry if they love dinosaurs… dinos are pretty cool. And every kid (big and small) goes through a dinosaur phase. I am still in one!

This great dinosaur fossil activity is perfect for kids because it combines a love for dinosaurs with a great sensory play activity. Your kids can create their own fossils in playdough as a play activity, or you can use this activity as part of a school unit or summer camp activity.

If you have a ton of playdough in a bin, this is a great activity to break out. Mix up your normal playdough routine with this fun dinosaur activity. The dinosaur figurines are great for creating imaginary worlds. And giving your kids the chance to make fossils is awesome for sparking imagination.
