This project is educational, fun and mess free!
If you happen to be a fiber artist this is a super fun way to use up all that random wool roving!
Supplies
- clean jars or bottles
- wool roving
- chopsticks, bamboo skewers, straws or pencils

I used random cleaned and dried bottles.

You can find images of layers that appear in Earth Science on the internet and in books for inspiration
Now you can start adding your layers!
Push the roving down repeatedly as you add layers.
Use chopsticks, skewers, pencils or straws to help push the roving where you want it.
