Cleaning Pennies

While searching the Internet, I visited the 'Kids of Integrity' website and found this activity in their lesson on Obedience.

We have a great, big jar filled with dirty pennies, so I knew that this activity was for us!

Take:
1 tsp salt
1/4 cup vinegar
1 cup water

Mix together in a bowl and add dirty pennies! Watch the results!

We also used cotton swabs to stir the pennies in the bowl.

On the 'Kids of Interity' site they recommend leaving the salt out and seeing that the pennies aren't clean, and then adding the salt and showing that we can try to be obedient on our own but it's too hard, we cannot do it on our own strength. It can be done by asking God for help.

I tried explaining this to Aj and Si, but I think that it went a bit over their heads. Either way, they both LOVED washing pennies! This is definitely a keeper in our household!

And, now all of our pennies are shiny and clean!
