Welcome to today’s giveaway–sponsored by The World’s Most Fascinating Rock Collection:
From Kelli of The World’s Most Fascinating Rock Collection:
“Maybe you find rocks in your wash every time you do laundry. Maybe you can’t walk through a parking lot without your child stooping to study the scattered pebbles at your feet. Maybe you have a child who is fascinated by rocks.
Lucky you! You might not know it, but rock collecting is a great base for studying many earth science principles in a concrete and hands-on way.
The World’s Most Fascinating Rock Collection uses children’s natural fascination with rocks as a foundation on which to develop a deeper understanding of earth science principles.
Each specimen represents a specific educational principle. For example pumice, fascinating for its ability to float, serves as the grounding element in a lesson on water displacement and floatation. Some other covered topics include: crystallization, atoms, the rock cycle, lapidary, magnetism, space rocks, volcanic processes and fossilization.
Because children SO love to receive mail, the collection is delivered as a monthly subscription to keep excitement for learning fresh!
However, this collection differs from the typical subscription box because each delivery is one installment in a carefully planned rock and mineral collection designed to increase your child’s understanding of rock-related science in a fun and engaging way.”
“Each monthly package includes:
- Featured Rock or Mineral Specimen (Tektites, Fossils, Geodes, and others)
- Stackable Collection Container that grows each month
- Fun and Fascinating Information Card packed with educational material and illustrations
- Instructions for a Hands-On Activity that illustrates the lesson (experiments, recipes, crafts, and more)
- Paper Activity that reinforces the material (crosswords, mazes, origami, etc.)
- Photo Identification and “Rock Humor” Stickers
In addition to the monthly collection, you can add-on a Collector’s Box which includes:
- Carrying Box to contain the entire collection including information cards
- Personalizable Label
- Decorative sticker (the box is a great place to display all the collection stickers!)
- Welcome Card
- Kid-friendly Magnifying Glass
- “Geo” character rock (the collection’s playful mascot)
If you prefer to teach your rock science as a unit, there is a Teacher’s Pack available. The Teacher’s Pack is the entire collection packaged in the Collector’s Box and delivered in one shipment.”

Best books of the month
Rocks in pockets, all the time, as well as collections all over the house. Little man is 5, almost 6 🙂
Thanks for the chance, this looks awesome!
Rocks (and pine cones, acorns, and feathers) are why pocket were invented 🙂
My kiddos are 8, 7, 4, 2, and 8 mos.
Thanks for the opportunity!
My children are 9, 7 and 6. My 9 year old has been fascinated with rocks his whole life and I’ve found many rocks in his pockets!
My children are 6, 4, and 2. I have never found a rock in their pockets, but they are very interested in them and are always picking up “cool ones.”
I also liked SH and Rock collection in Facebook.
I like both on facebook!
Kids ages 2-14 and rocks, rocks, rocks everywhere! My 7 year old would think she’d died and gone to heaven to win this package!!!
I have 3 boys, 12, 9, and 7, so we’ve had many wash loads with rocks!
What a great giveaway!!! Thank you ! My kids are 13, 11, and 8. My 11 year old, especially, always has rocks in his pocket- he would LOVE this!!!
My kids are 13, 8 and 8 (yes, twins!)
They pick up rocks everywhere we go. I do find rocks in their pockets and of course in mine. They find special rocks as a gift to me so often my pockets are more full of rocks than theirs. We’ve be working on a “heart shaped” rock collection. Thanks for the chance! Sounds like an amazing gift.
My kids are 4 & 6 — yes, we find rocks in pockets, in the car, on the floor, in jars — we paint rocks, collect rocks, sort rocks. They are a favorite toy around here!
My kids are ages 4 and 6. I don’t find rocks in their pockets but I have a largish collection in my purse that they’ve given me with instructions to “keep this magic stone in your purse, Mama”. Of course I keep every single one. 🙂
My sons are 5 and 3. I have found many rocks in their pockets. I have even found them in my own pockets. 🙂
My sons are 10 and 12, and I have found rocks in my 10 yr old’s pockets too many times to count!
My boys are 10 and 13. We love rocks … all of us have filled our pockets with rocks plenty of times. We even brought bags of rocks home from vacation this summer!
I have liked Simple Homeschool and TWMFRC on Facebook.
My children are 11, 8, and 5. Rocks are found in their pockets often! They even started a rock exchange in the neighborhood with other children. They are always looking for that special rock treasure.
My children are 7, 5 and 2 and we have a draw full of ‘special rocks’. 🙂

My son is 8 years old. Rocks in pockets? We’ve found them in pockets, in bookbags, in his shirt drawer, they are everywhere!
My girls are 11, 8, and 3. I have found rocks in their pockets, in my purse, in their coats, and in my washing machine.
Hahaha! This one resonates with me, for sure. I find rocks in the wash, in little piles at the door, on a bookshelf, next to his pillow(!), etc. My son is 4. Protect your vacuums, parents!
I have liked both pages on Facebook.

Yes, we find rocks all the time – even in bed! 😉
Our boys are 8 and 9. This would be a fun project to do with them!
