Fossils craft

Contributed to recipegoldmine.com by Annette

You can learn more about fossils and how they were created by creating some of your own with coffee grounds dough. I found this idea at Kids Domain Craft Exchange at kidsdomain.com on the Web.

Supplies you will need:

1 cup used coffee grounds
1/2 cup cold coffee
1 cup flour
1/2 cup salt
Mixing bowl
Waxed paper
Small objects to embed in dough

1. Stir together the coffee grounds, cold coffee, flour and salt. Knead the dough until mixed well. Flatten a portion of the mixture onto waxed paper. Press an object found in nature, such as starfish or seashells, into the mixture to create an impression. Remove the object.

2. Poke a hole in an edge of the fossil if you want to hang it. Set aside until completely dry.
