Frugal Fun: Gem and Rock Collecting
{[["☆","★"]]}
 |
For those of you with little gem and rock collectors, I think you will love this!
I took a small plastic kids pool and filled it about half full of sand from a local gravel pit. You could even use an under-the-bed storage bin for indoors!
I bought some awesome little gems from Walmart for under a dollar (small gems of different colors and sizes). Other ideas are pirate coins, geodes with gems inside, or dinosaur eggs.
Put a small portion of the gems in the sand and stir them in, and the kids can have treasure and gem hunts all summer.
Even the grown kids have been seen looking in the sand.
Awesome fun for all, and it wasn't very expensive.
SAFETY NOTE: This frugal fun tip is meant for over 3 years old. If your child is the type to still put everything in their mouth, best to wait till after 5 years old.
