As part of the Fossil theme this week i gave the children their own little Geode to break open at the end of the session. Here is hoe i made them: make up Plaster of Paris pour in to egg box moulds place a small chrystal or jewel in the center then wait to set. Once set remove from the carton, place carefully to one side,then pour the remaining PP in to egg cartons and then simply put the first half on top of the second to enclose the chrystal inside and form a rock! i sprinkled a little sand over them whilst they were setting to make them look a little more authentic! Then packaged them up with a few Geode facts attached!

This is a really good idea! Would be great if you could actually make the crystals inside too from salt, alum or sugar....wonder if it would work???
