Well, you could always get a group of kids to suggest the items that should/could
go in it to fit a
particular theme (Dewey or otherwise) so others have to search for them. That
would be a good
lesson for little ones instead of crating a word bank all the time ... if we were
going to make a
treasure bottle about insects, what could we put in it? Brainstorm the ideas,
research them to see
if they are indeed insects, then create the bottle. Put it on the circ desk -
Kindergarten made a
treasure bottle about insects. Can you find ...?
Saves your brain!

Now you've got my brain going, too! It would be fun to have treasure bottles for
various Dewey
divisions and have the kids guess whether the items represent the 500s, 600s, etc.
That would spice
up a Dewey Decimal lesson!!
Keep our brains oiled, Barbara!

Hi Deborah
I forwarded your post to OZTL_NET because I think it is a terrific idea ...
and I got to thinking, as you do. If you used a wider-necked jar then you could
put in little
objects like an apple or a shoe or a gold nugget or a whatever to represent some of
the favourite
fairy tales, much like the Fairytale Museum someone suggested some time ago. Then
while the younger
ones tried to find all the bits, the older ones could try to identify the stories
as well. You
could make it trickier by having objects common to more than one story ...the shoe
could be
Cinderella or The Elves and the Shoemaker. I shall warm my brain up by trying to
think of the
things that could be used.
Whish I had a circulation desk now! But I shall make one for my grandkids to play
with anyway.
