In this fun activity, kids practice measurement and boost fine motor skills as they learn all about how fossils form and even make a few of their own!

Make "fossils" with your child to hide in the sandbox or at the park or the beach, to help your child explore his archaeological side.

It's a rare kid who doesn't like a sandbox. Next time you're out digging, build in some earth science, too.

With some cookie dough and ordinary household objects, let your kindergartener explore how fossil imprints are made.
