Preparation

Step 1

Combine the sand, flour, coffee grounds, and 3/4 cup water in a large bowl. Knead, as you would bread dough, until the mixture comes together into a workable dough. Add the remaining 1/4 cup water, a little at at time, if needed. Take a small amount of dough (about the size of a golf ball), flatten it, and form it around your object.*

Bake at 250 degrees for about 30 minutes, turning over after the first 10 minutes. Store uncovered.

This recipe covers about 12 small dinosaurs.



*Note: It's best if the dough is just thick enough to be workable in covering your surprise object, but not too thick. If you make it thick, it'll take the rocks a long time to bake in the oven or the dough may not dry out enough at all. For larger objects, you will need a larger amount of dough. Large surprise rocks may require additional baking time.

Have fun and enjoy!
