Sharing is caring!
Rocks, Rocks and more Rocks. If your children are anything like my own, then they’ll be avid rock collectors! We could be at the beach, park or simply pass a gravel drive way and almost instinctively, they’re pocketing a rock or two (or three). So if you have a hoard of rocks and don’t know what to do with them, then I have a collection of 26 Creative Rock Crafts for your kids to work through.
And if you don’t already have a stash, then you better pop out with the kids and start collecting, as I’m sure they’ll be something here that you’ll be itching to try out!
Shall we take a look?
