• Small plastic dinosaurs

• Balloons

• Water

• Freezer

Step-by-Step Process:

1. Stretch the opening of a balloon and place a small plastic dinosaur inside. Fill the balloon with water until it forms an egg shape, then tie it securely.

2. Put the water-filled balloons in the freezer and let them freeze completely. This will take a few hours, so it's best to prepare them the night before.
