If there is no beach available you could get your child to get some gravel to do a display or your child could look for fossils in the gravel. You can make some good pictures with pebbles or gravel or even both. If you have a boring piece of concrete, do a pebble mosaic on top. You could do a picture, or flowers or a pattern which anyone can do. Start by collecting stones which are similar in shape and colour, and flat.</div> <div> This will be enjoyable for your little kids and it can be educating too by finding out what the fossils you found, and some budding geologists might be interested enough to identify the rock types and where they have come from.</div> <div> Stones make good paper weights (take great care not to drop them on you foot) and can be painted then varnished too.</div> <div> Additional activities- go to the library and search out books on rocks and fossils.</div> </td> </tr></table></body>
