Craft:  Coins
Art Emboss Foil, Aluminum medium -  each 9” x 12” sheet is to be cut into 24 pieces 2” x 2”
(you may want to actually cut them into 1 3/4” diameter circles). A minimum of 12 coins can 
be made from each sheet.
Wooden stylus - enough for one per child.  2 each come with each sheet.  They are simple
pointed sticks like a candy apple comes on.  (If more sticks are not available, plastic clay
tools will also do)
Lara craft 1 1/2” wooden discs (6 per bag).  Cardboard or Styrofoam also works if you find them.
Folded up sheets of newspaper.
Scissors, only if you do not precut circles.

1.Pass out materials.  Every child will receive a folded section of newspaper to serve as a soft 
background, 2 small pieces of foil, a disk and a stylus tool.
2. The children are to trace the disc onto the centers of both pieces of foil, by pressing gently 
with the stylus.   
3. Tell the children to draw designs or figures within the circles they have drawn.  
4. They can then turn the foil over and rub parts of the surface with the stylus to stretch the metal. 
By flipping back and forth, outlining and rubbing - a raised impression can be created.  They should 
also work their name or initials onto one piece of foil.
5. When both pieces of foil are decorated, they should be pressed over both sides of the disc. 
If you have not precut the foil into 1 3/4” circles, the children will need scissors to trim 
the foil pieces.  A serrated stylus may be used to create a ribbed edge.
