Treasure Collection

I really love the activities and crafts Ms. Brenda does with the kiddos. On Friday morning Merit and I went on a little treasure hunt around our yard for rocks, seeds, plants, and feathers. We gathered a nice bag of items and took them to Ms. Brenda's house. She had mixed up a batch of salt dough. 1 cup of salt, 1 cup of water and 1 TB of oil. She pressed the mixture into cleaned meat trays and then let the kids press their items into the dough. The dough dried overnight and now Merit has a neat treasure display to keep. I can't wait to do this while we are in Florida next week! We plan to also bring some items back for the kids at Ms. Brenda's so they can make another treasure collection and this time it will be a beach and ocean themed treasure display. What fun!
