While I looked up the origins of this rhyme, I learned about Mary Anning, who this rhyme was based on. She was a fossil collector and palaeontologist. Fascinating life and definitely ahead of her time. I loved telling her story.... especially about the fossilized poop!! Afterwards each camper was given a cigar box with some fossilized shark teeth and shells that they then decorated!
