Rocks, we see them all around us but how can you play with them?  Rocks are easily found in the outdoors and one of the greatest  things about them is their possibilities are endless.  They invite creativity, imagination, curiosity and desire.  Rocks can be moved, carried, combined, lined up, taken apart and put back together again.  Rocks can be used alone or with other found objects.  This week we are going to look at some of the fun you can have with rocks.

I encourage you to go out in your neighbourhood and search for some rocks.  Collecting rocks will get you out of the house and get your body moving.  While out discuss the rocks that your child collects, are they big, or smooth, round or jagged, heavy or flat maybe even shiny?  Today me and my girls will go on a rock hunt and I’ll share what we find.
