Thank you! I was thinking along the same lines, except, I've got to figure
out a way to work with 25 students at a time. Also, the "reverse" thing
might confuse the first graders. what do you think of this . . . would it
work to have the first graders place their stones on clear contact paper
that has been stapled to their drawing (sticky side up) . . . then hot glue
it to the wooden mold, and pull of the contact paper/drawing . . . pour
concrete. What do you all think?
