Dinosaur Party Favor

My friend Cynthia made the cutest dinosaur party favors a few years ago. And now she is sharing it with all of us (Thanks Cynthia!) for a great idea for your dinosaur party.

What she did was create dinosaur eggs to hold the favors. The eggs held things such as stickers/activity pages and a large dinosaur figure. The kids LOVED their favor, and it was something they got to sort of unwrap, which made it very special for them.

Step One:

First, she created the eggs by covering a balloon with paper mache. To do this - blow up a round balloon to the size you would like the egg to be, and then cover it in strips of newspaper held together with glue. The glue is something that you will make out of flour mixed with water. Just put some flour in a bowl and add water a little bit at a time until you get a paste that you can spread. You'll need to allow a couple of days for the glue to dry well, depending on how many layers you use.

Step Two:

After the flour and water "glue" dries, you are ready to paint your egg. Cynthia used textured spray paint in a brownish greyish color. It was perfect. Here is a photo of what they looked like after being painted:

Step Three:

Next, a hole was cut in each egg and the goodies were put inside. The hole was covered with colorful, crinkly, shredded paper.

Here is a photo of the eggs ready to go:
