Making dinosaur fossils with salt dough

Tiger was really sick yesterday with vomiting and high fever.  Today he has bounced back and is back to his normal busy self.  Hard to believe.  I kept him off school today thinking he couldn't possibly be better.  Cricket is also home as it is a home day for him and mommy.  We have made pancakes as everyone is so tired of eating toast and cereal for breakfast and we have been making some dinosaur fossils.  Thanks to "Andy's Dinosaur Adventures" on CBeebies I now know far more than I ever wanted to about dinosaurs.  They wait all day for 5.30pm and then rush to the tv to watch.  First there is a hurried assembling of backpacks and hats and other strange additions to the outfits, eg. long socks over trousers, batman belts, sunglasses, etc.  Basically everything a dinosaur adventurer could possibly need.  One day I had a look in the back packs and there were electric toothbrushes, toothpaste, bottles of water, snacks and a large amount of random toys.  I mean, who knows when Andy will need a transformer to get back to the museum.  Here are some pics of them dressed up and also some of the fossil making.
