Fossil Sorting Activity Kit


FOSSILS!
Look what I found!


This kit is fantastic!

My boys had a blast digging through the fossils, checking them out with their magnifying glasses and matching them to there correct ID cards.

The kit has over 100 fossils!
We dumped ours in a tray, laid out our color ID cards and started sorting and LEARNING!

The favorites were the teeth and poop fossil J.

I found the kit here on Amazon!

Here are some pictures from our fossil exploring. 











These also work well with my 

We also made our own fossils! 


The recipe is super easy buy you have to prep it the night before. 

Ingredients: 
1 cup used coffee grounds

I made 10 fossils with this recipe but you could make them smaller. 

1. Mix the ingredients until smooth.
2. Scoop onto wax paper and put in the refrigerator over night.
3. The next day have the students press items into the mixture. 
4. Let the fossil harden overnight.
