Penny-Wrapping Game!

You know what you have a lot of?  Pennies.  They're everywhere and they bulk up your purse and wallet...and they don't amount to much spending power.  Know what you could do with those pennies? Play a game!
Here's what you need:
Tin Foil
Pennies/coins

Here's what you do:

Cut/rip tinfoil into medium-sized squares.  With your kids, wrap the coins like gifts (you'd be amazed how much they like this)

Once a good number are wrapped...UNWRAP!  Yep, start opening them like gifts.  But here's the catch, upon opening each one, have the child (or you, if it's your turn...you totally have to play too, Mom/Dad/Grandma) identify if the coin is shiny or dull, and put it in the appropriate Shiny/Dull pile.

Fun game of sorting and fine motor skills!  Enjoy and Happy Parenting! :)
