Sea Shell Project

Oma sent along some beautiful sea shells from the beach and the moment Lillian saw them she exclaimed "I have to make a project!" So we talked about the different ways to hold them onto something and agreed that modeling clay would probably work best. Because I didn't have any on hand I was able to convince her to wait for a day. This morning I looked up a recipe and came across this sawdust clay Well, sawdust is something we have plenty of around here. So we whipped up a batch of sawdust clay & Lillian put her shells in it. As she started to place them we noticed that the clay color was very similar to a beach- how perfect!

Ok, it sorta looks like a cookie too. But as Phoebe can tell you, it doesn't taste any good.
