Subject: Fossils......great kids craft

COFFEE GROUND "FOSSILS"

What You Need
1 cup of used coffee grounds
1/2 cup of cold coffee
1 cup of flour
1/2 cup of salt
Wax paper
Mixing bowl
Some small objects to make impressions in the dough
Empty can or a butter knife
Toothpicks, optional
String to hang your fossil, optional
Directions
1. Stir the together the coffee grounds, cold coffee, flour,
and salt until well mixed.
2. Knead the dough together and then flatten it out onto the
waxed paper.
3. Use the can to cut out circles of the dough or use the
dull knife to cut slabs large enough to fit your "fossil"
objects.
4. Press your objects firmly into the dough. When you take
the object out, you have your "fossil". If you want to hang
the fossil, poke holes into the edge to hold the string.
5. Let the fossil dry overnight and then hang it if you wish.
I had to bake them for a short period to get the "dough" to
harden, but the resulting "Rocks" which really resembled
fossils (I pressed a shell into the dough). The kids (ages
5-6) LOVED THEM!!!
