Fossils

Today we are going to study fossils in science class. Our curriculum gives us a recipe to make our own clay and then we can imprint our own fossils.  I'm not sure I have all the ingredients, so I'm going to try to make salt dough fossils.

I think this is worthwhile activity that might make a mess, but that's what school is about, right?
This is definitely something that Courtney will enjoy! She enjoys messes!

Hopefully I can post some pictures of our creations later!
