Treasure box
Treasure is all around us. You can often find pebbles that contain shining quartz crystals, rocks that contain fossils, sparkling frost on a leaf or shiny smooth seeds. Use your imagination and see how much treasure you can find outside today.
What you will need
A small box, bag or container to put your treasure in
Activity
- Find a small ‘treasure box’ and take it outside with you
