Do u have some ideas?
If you have any idea what you you can do with your kids or peeps then leave a comment telling us the idea so we can show it to everyone else! Thank you.
Treasure balls
Treasure Balls
Materials List
1 cup used coffee grinds
1 cup flour
1/2 cup salt
1/4 cup sand
3/4 cup water
Instructions
- Put all the dry ingredients in a bowl and stir until blended.
- Slowly add water until the mixture can be kneaded. It should be the consistency of bread dough
- Shape into a ball, then press your thumb into the center to make a hole. Put the treasure in the hole (see Treasure Ball 1 in the picture above), then the dough over the hole and roll out the ball to hide the hole (see Treasure Ball 2).
- Let your Treasure Balls air dry for 2-3 days. Be sure to rotate them so they dry evenly.
Hints:
- If the mixture is too wet, add more flour.
- If the kids are in a hurry, your Treasure Balls can be 'baked' on a cookie sheet in a 150F oven for 15 to 20 minutes.
- Break the Treasure Balls outside where it's easier to clean up!
- Don't leave them for more than week, or you will need a hammer to break them!
Ideas for Using Treasure Balls
- Hide the clues in the balls (wrapped in plastic, or in small plastic containers) for a Treasure Hunt.
- Children can put small (plastic wrapped!) presents inside a Treasure Ball. Would make a fun way to give Mom a necklace.
- Put colored disks in the Treasure Balls. Assign points to the different colors and see whose treasure balls have the most points.
- Use Treasure Balls to put some fun in simple presents for children. If your giving a young boy a collection of marbles, or plastic lizards, hide them in treasure balls.
