Faith loves this plaster of paris activity. Little gems are hid within the mold and she uses a pick and hammer to chip away at the limestone. She loves looking for them and I love her looking for them because it occupies her time for hours at a time. So far she has found 6 gems and a few rocks from the sand. She uses her brush to brush the limestone away when she thinks she has found one. Earlier this year Pa Pa showed her how to chip away and find them. Faith isn't quite sticking to her teachings. I often see her throwing the mold down to break it down further. I just hope she doesn't lose any gems with this technique. Her safety goggles top it off as she decided to wear them into town yesterday also to pick up the van. I'd probably buy her another one. She'll end up with a whole treasure chest full.
