1 cup flour per group
1 cup used coffee grounds per group

1/4 cup sand per group

Mixing bowls
Spoons
Floured surface
Small toys or crosses
Directions:
1. Have the children work in groups.
2. Give each group the required ingredients.
3. Have the children mix only the dry ingredients together.
4. While one child stirs, have another slowly add the water. Children should pause to stir and observe the texture as they work because the amount of water needed will vary. Dough will be stiff.
5. Divide the dough up and give each of the children a handful.
6. Have the children knead their handful of dough on a floured surface until mostly smooth.
7. Give each of the children a small toy or cross to press inside.
