Paper Sand Dollars
- Total Time Needed:
- 1 Hour
It's easy to see why kids sometimes think sand dollars are old pirate coins or mermaids' loot, but of course they're actually the shells of bottom-dwelling sea animals that have washed ashore. Luckily, you don't have to wait for the tide to recede to get a few of these ocean treasures for yourself.
