Fossils have been the science topic around here for the past couple of weeks. Over the years I have somehow morphed from being a "fun home school Mom" to a "get-er-done home school Mom", so it was good to break the mold and do something creative for a change.
I dug out the clay recipe which dates back to when I was the little girl.
1 cup salt
2 cups flour
1 Tablespoon Vegetable Oil
Enough water to make a stiff dough.
Food coloring if desired.
Then the kids found lots of fun things to make their very own fossils. 
I like being the "fun home school Mom".
I think we're studying gravity next . . . hmmmm......
Wow that looks like so much fun! Lizzy went back to brick & mortar school and I went back to work to make ends meet. I miss doing things like this with her.
