CRAFT PROJECT - TREASURE STONES

Eli and I made these “treasure stones” last summer just for fun. They really do look like stones – Eli enjoyed convincing his cousins that they were real rocks. Here’s the recipe: 1/2 C. flour, 1/2 C. used coffee grounds (allow them to dry out), 1/4 C. salt, 1/8 C. sand, 3/8 C. water and small toys to hide inside (E. used tiny toy dinosaurs). Heat the oven to 170 degrees. Combine the dry ingredients. Slowly add the water, stirring until the mixture forms a dough. Roll dough into balls – we went for about the size of a large walnut (you can make it as big or little as you want – just adjust the baking time). Make a hole in the center and push in a toy. Place the stones on a baking sheet and bake for 20-30 minutes (or as long as needed – just so they’re baked through). Cool completely and play with and/or use as favors or gifts.
