Recipe for treasure stones:
1 cup flour
1 cup used coffee grinds
1/2 cup salt
1/4 cup sand
3/4 cup water
1 T powdered tempera paint (optional, to tint stones)
Mix all dry ingred. Slowly add water and knead until it's like bread dough. Break off a hunk, roll it into a ball, poke a hole in it, and fill it with treasure (small toy, shark teeth, etc.) Patch hole with more dough.
Air dry for 2-3 days, or bake at 150 degrees for 15-20 min.
