Using tile grout, plaster or builders' filler fill the inside of the egg using the wrong end of a spoon or artists paint brush or lolly stick.

This is the most fun. I felt like I was making the fossil and revealing it at the same time. I can see what fascinates paleontologists, all the picking away is very... moreish.

Fill the eg only up to a certain height so that the embryo is poking out of the layer of filler. Don't worry too much about getting it all over the embryo, in the next step you are going to pick away at it and brush it off.

Once you have filled the egg, put filler / grout over the card and around the bits of egg to about the same level as the filler inside the egg.
