Here are the materials you'll need:

Step 1: In three separate beakers, add equal amounts of Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate and mix in different food colouring to create a range of vibrant colours.

Step 2: Gradually add Distilled Water to each mixture, pouring small amounts until you achieve a paste-like consistency.

Step 3: Combine all three colourful mixtures, blending them together to create a brilliant and vivid assortment.

Step 4: Take a palmful of the paste and shape it into a ball. Place a small dinosaur toy into the centre of the ball, covering it with more paste until the dinosaur is hidden.

Step 5: Continue making the rest of the dinosaur eggs, and then place them in the freezer to set.

Step 6: When you're ready for the grand hatching reveal, arrange the dinosaur hatching eggs on a baking tray.

Step 7: Drizzle some washing up liquid onto the baking tray, creating the perfect environment for the hatching process.

Step 8: Fill a syringe with Acetic Acid 3%, and then squirt it onto the dinosaur eggs, initiating the fascinating hatching reaction.

Step 9: Continue squirting the Acetic Acid 3% until all the dinosaur eggs have hatched, and watch in wonder as the baby dinosaurs emerge before your eyes!
