Panning for Gold Play Kit

Here is a very easy and inexpensive panning for gold kit to make for your kids for pretend play.

Only a few supplies are needed:
I used small rocks from our patio. Make sure to wash them. A plastic dishpan and sand toys from the dollar store (Dollar Tree), play sand (50lb bag for $5) and gold metallic spray paint (Rust-Oleum) from the Home Depot (The Home Depot).

Wash, dry and spray paint your rocks.

Fill your plastic bin with play sand.

Spread the "gold nuggets" on to the sand bin.

Using your sand toys, cover the "gold nuggets."

Have your child use their sand toys to search for "gold nuggets."

Watch you child have fun as they strike gold!
