In my booth I provide a temptingly cool "treasure chest" filled with a variety of tumbled gemstones, plus a pair of sturdy plastic cups. I ask older children to find the best rocks in the treasure chest - which means that they usually take a good long time sorting through all the content on your chest! Then I let them keep the stones are selected as the best - which always results in a delighted smile

Younger children enjoy a long session filling plastic cups to the brim with tumbled stones, and pouring them back into the chest.


and adults focus on shopping in my booth at their leisure, while their young people are kept happily busy!
