Grace made little treasure "rocks" today by mixing the following ingredients together: 1 cup of flour
1 cup of used coffee grounds
1/2 cup of salt
1/4 cup of sand
3/4 cup of water
Grace mixed all of the above ingredients together until it formed a dough-like consistency.
Grace broke off small pieces of the dough and shaped each one into a rock. Grace then pressed little treasures of her choice into the center of each rock (e.g., coins, animal figures, etc.). Grace has her hidden treasure stones drying on a cookie sheet. It should take 2-3 days for them to fully dry and once that happens I'll give Grace some tools to chip away at her stones until she finds her treasures. I also made some rocks for Grace so that the treasures inside will be a surprise for her. I'll post pictures of Grace's rock excavation later this week!

Oh, I can't wait to see! Super-duper idea --- just perfect for an August morning. Grace is extra sweet in this picture!
Love these activities, Maddy xo
What fun! Can't wait to see the pictures of "Grace the Paleontologist"...

This is a fun activity, like being part of an historical moment where artifacts are left behind, and then, "years" later, uncovering them on a dig. What adventure! I can't wait for the second part.
XOXOXO,
