Supplies:

  • 1 cup Flour 

  • 1/2 cup Cold Coffee 

  • 1 cup Coffee Grounds(used) 

  • 1/2 cup salt 

  • Collected nature items

1. Go out in the yard or for a walk to search for treasures to make into fossils. Good things to use are twigs, leaves, flowers, small rocks.

2. Next, measure all ingredients and put into a bowl. Stir well. If the mixture seems a little too moist

(it should resemble a dough consistency), add a little more flour. Knead until smooth. 

3. Work the dough into smooth balls and then flatten on a piece of waxed paper.

4. Press objects into the clay, using one or more of the collected items. Remind kids to share. Allow all

fossils to dry thoroughly before removing from the waxed paper.
