Forgotten Rocks

I forgot to include a few other pictures and things we did during our rock week.

We used rocks to spell and Cedrik practiced the letter "r."

We also made a few "rocks" out of crayon shavings (the best part for them was trying to use the pencil sharpener) and hot water. You put the shavings in aluminum foil, float it on top and allow it to melt slightly, then remove and press the aluminum together. Sedimentary rock.

Then, put it back on the water, allow it to melt longer, and mix it together, preferably not making the mistake i did by letting a 2.5 year old mix it with a toothpick and punch a hole in the foil. It started filling with water. I smashed it between the aluminum and put it in the freezer which hardened it quickly. Metamorphic rock.  They loved it.
