Old Rock Day

Read “If You Find a Rock” by Peggy Christian.

Go on rock-finding expedition with your little one today, then bring your treasures inside and wash them off. Now you are ready to use your finds for any number of crafts. Transform a large rock into a paperweight with paint; glue small rocks onto a piece of cardboard to create a geological mosaic; or glue different-size rocks together in the shape of an animal and complete with paint, pom-poms, and novelty eyes.

Later, take a trip to your local nature store to see some of the beautifully colored gemstones on display.
