Make a Dino Egg Gallery November 2023

by M. Mattes

Roar! We read Eggasaurus by Jennifer Wagh about a child who received dinosaur eggs in the mail.  Then we made our own dinosaur egg to take home, let dry, and break open later.  Some kids sent us photos of their egg opening at home.  What kind of dinosaur is your favorite?
