we decided it would be much easier if she was able to help us

loved every step of this craft - from making the salt dough, to
rolling it out, to deciding what type of fossil to make. You can
make a salt dough fossil by pressing your dinosaur toys into the
dough, by pressing your own hands and feet into the dough, or by
