1
Open the neck of the
balloons and push a mini
dinosaur into each one
(ask an adult to hold the
balloon neck wide open it’s quite tricky).
2
3
Fill up each balloon with
water then securely tie each
neck.
Put the balloons onto the
baking tray and place in the
freezer overnight.
4
Take the balloons out of the
freezer and cut the neck of
each balloon. Then carefully
peel the balloon away to
reveal the icy eggs.
5
Put your eggs in an empty washing up bowl and
you’re ready to watch them hatch!
Use
a spoonful of
warm water (or use
a water dropper) to
help melt your eggs. Or
try adding salt to see how
it makes the ice melt
faster.
