In case you missed yesterday’s post, we are focusing on dinosaur fun around here this week. We kicked off with a dino-themed dessert recipe, and for our second day of all things dino, I planned a DIY activity – Jurassic Fossil Dough.

A recipe you can make for your family, a DIY project you can recreate, or an activity that your family can enjoy together. I love when you take the time to leave me comments so I know exactly which of these you’re loving. Continue reading »
