Connor officially starts Pre-K on Monday.  Of course he’s been going to “summer camp school” all summer.  But his official start date back to pre-school is Monday.  He’s been learning about dinosaurs for the past month in his class.  He’s just crazy about dinosaurs and fossils and dinosaur bones!  He’s been asking tons of questions and loves learning their names and all about them.

I thought it would be fun to make a snack using dinosaurs.  I headed to Walmart and bought some Cool Whip (for the snowy peaks) and some Jell-O mix to fossilize the dinosaur bones.

I made a big bowl of Jell-O and hid dinosaur bones inside for a quick and easy snack.  Then I topped it off with snowy peaks of Cool Whip.

 You can also use Jell-O Pudding mix.  I prefer chocolate because it looks like mud and put some cookie crumbles on top for dirt.  Then do your dino dig that way!

Right now you can save $1.00 when you buy ONE tub of Cool Whip Topping and any TWO boxes of Jell-O Pudding Mix. *While Supplies Last*

I used two packages of Strawberry Jell-O and a large tub of Cool Whip.  I buried a few dinosaur bones and let the Jell-O harden.  Then topped with the Cool Whip.  It was super easy and Connor LOVED it!

You can kind of see the fossils below buried in the Jell-O.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Digging for Dino bones 🙂

He was so excited each time he found a dinosaur hidden in there!

 It also makes a yummy treat!  What’s better than Strawberries and whipped cream???
