Summer Reading Activity: Dino Eggs


June 2, 2026

Join us for Break-Apart Eggs, a hands-on dinosaur “excavation” craft where kids crack open homemade eggs to reveal a hidden dino toy.

Children will use toy hammers and spray bottles of water to tap, chip, and mist their way through the flour-and-coffee-ground “rock” until they uncover their treasure, making for a sensory-rich activity that works great indoors or outside.

We’ll provide all materials, including prepared eggs, tools, and dinos; just bring your little paleontologists ready to dig in and get a little messy!

Small children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

Snacks and juice will be provided.

For more information, contact Cameron Collier at ccollier@thorntonlibrary.org.
