Fun with geodes!

We're learning about rocks & minerals, so we got out the "break your own geodes" kit this weekend. We didn't crack all of them...just a few. Here's Bug's dad showing her the proper hammer technique.

Bug gives it a whack.

Now, to reach inside and see if it worked....

She cracked it!

Sadly, this one had no crystals inside. Bug was happy anyway!

Let's try another!

Crystals!

There were 2 really small geodes in the kit. Bug smashed one of them. It was purple inside. Yay.
