STEAM: DIY Fossils

Fossils are the impression of prehistoric organisms, preserved in petrified form or as a mould pressed into rock.

Mix everyday kitchen ingredients to create salt dough that can be used to create fossil impressions! Discover the science behind how fossils form, how paleontologists uncover and preserve fossils, and what we can learn from the fossil record.

All programs are included in general admission and are free for members. Admission can be purchased in advance online or by walk-in at our front desk!

Thank you, 3M Canada, for helping the London Children’s Museum bring everyday science to children and their families.

Unearth Wonder

Help build our NEW dinosaur exhibit at 100 Kellogg Lane!

The future London Children’s Museum was shaped by the ideas and dreams of over 500 children, families, and community members. And children in our community made one thing very clear - our new home would not be complete without dinosaurs!

But to make our community’s dream a reality, we need your help! You can bring these prehistoric wonders to life by donating today. Every gift matters!
