Instructions
- 1. To create treasure rocks, simply take large handfuls of wet baking soda from another activity. If you don't have any leftovers, just add a little water to unused baking soda or simply do another activity first.
- 2. Place a gold coin or treasure in the middle and form the baking soda around it. Repeat until you have several treasure rocks for the activity.
- 3. Let the fizzy treasure rocks dry for several days. Try to avoid handling them as much as possible, as they can be quite fragile once they're dry.
- 4. Once dried, scatter the treasure rocks in the water table. You can also put some extra dried-out baking soda that you hadn't turned into treasure rocks.
- 5. For St. Patrick's Day theme, you can color your vinegar green and yellow.
- 6. Now it's time to let the kids play and decide how to dig up those treasures!
