	2.  Slowly add approximately 3/4         cup water and knead the mixture         until it is the consistency of         cookie dough.
3.  Break off a piece and roll it         to the size of a small fist.  Hide         a small plastic dinosaur inside         the ball and shape the piece to         resemble a rock.  You can find         the small plastic dinosaurs         easily and inexpensively at         many dollar stores.
