Over a dozen 9 year old & younger kids around a sandbox with a large papier-mâché volcano in center.
A Geo-Paleo-BINGO card with boxes for Fossil Dinosaur Bone Gypsum Rosettes Apatite Rose Quartz Pyrite Brachiopod Fossil Jasper/Agate Arrowhead (yes one archaeology find, & I did explain differences btwn geology, paleontology, & archaeology to kids) Ammonite Fossil Pumice
Dig Into Rocks & Fossils pocket booklets for kids to ID their finds (they got to keep the booklets & finds)
Remembering the time I threw a geology-paleontology themed Bday party for the kids. Filled a kiddie pool with sand, real fossils & rocks, then had the kids dig & ID their finds for Geo-Paleo Bingo. Ended by exploding a giant Coke & Mentos volcano at the dig site. 😅 #AcademicParents

I turned 48 today. I’ve anticipated this age for many, many years, as it’s the age I become an empty nester.
Now that I’m here…😭😭. It really is the "longest, shortest time!!

Huge Fail: confetti spray (Big regrets).
For tomorrow I’m planning on including more physical activities, like dancing and biking.
What did other #academicparents do during #covidconfinement that was fun&creative?
