Welcome to this week’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.”
Giveaway details
Today one lucky Simple Homeschool reader will win a FULL 1 YEAR SUBSCRIPTION, including shipping to your home each month for 12 months!
This subscription is valued at $120.00.
(Giveaway open to those in the US only. Sorry international readers!)
“The World’s Most Fascinating Rock Collection can supplement your earth science curriculum, spark an interest in geology, or just get your whole family looking at rocks in a new way! If your children weren’t already fascinated by rocks, they will be!”

I liked them on FB – been following you for some time now 🙂
My kids are 5 and 7. Their favorite rocks are the ones at the park used in landscaping….So fun to look at and climb over.

I just liked both on fb.
My kiddos are 4.5, 3, 1.5, and 6 months 🙂 My oldest three were so thrilled when we had to dig up large parts of our front yard and uncovered bed-rock (mom and dad weren’t as thrilled;)). However, once things we’re put right we were left with hundreds of little rocks all over our yard that the kids spend hours playing with and collecting in their wagon 🙂

Our boys are 4 and 7. Well last night listening to sparkle stories they wrote down the ingredients to “martin’s gold” and they made gold last night. So now I have dirt, baking soda and laundry detergent mixed in a bowl in my freezer! I would say gold or any kind of gem!

I have a 7 and 5 year old. Our favorite rock is the large hunk of quartz my son found while we were hiking his grandfather’s property in Vermont. It was SO heaving hiking around with it, but he fell in love – and it a great reminder of that special trip.
My guys, 7 and 5, would love this. Due to their love of Minecraft, they love “mining” for rocks. They love the ones that look like crystals.
I just started homeschooling my 5 years old this week. She would love to learn with this kit!

Also have liked both pages.
It’s so odd for me to realize that my girls do have favorite rocks. My oldest loves anything that has a bit of sparkle to it, favoring quartz and a special geode slice she has. My youngest loves anything that has a special shape….perfectly round or heart shaped or resembles an animal.
Our children are 8, 6, and 4 (and also 7/8 but we aren’t sure what their favorite rocks are yet)! Our kids are constantly picking up rocks and bringing new ones home to show off or add to their collection. They are all fascinated with geodes and crystals or anything with a fun mix to it.
My twins are 5 and love any rock they find between us and the car 🙂
My daughters are 9,7, and 3, and they especially love quartz and pyrite. What fun!
I liked these pages on Facebook!
My 4 kids tromp all over our farm finding rocks and always want to know more about the ones they find. I have had many-many-many lost teaching/learning opportunities because I have just not known how to dive into rock study. I know they’d love this! Thanks!
my boys are 10 and almost 9….dirt and rocks every where 🙂
Their favorites are obsidian and diamonds
my children are 14, 11, 9, 4, 3, 20 months, and 7 months. We haven’t covered rocks yet so they don’t have a favorite, but my oldest son loves to collect all sorts of rocks from all the states we’ve lived in.

My son is 9 and his favorite rock types all have a fossil of some sort in them. It fascinates him to ponder the process by which that fossil occurs! My daughter is 5, she kind of follows big brothers steps for the moment but loves to o rock collecting whenever we can.
My child is six, and he loves pretty all rocks, but especially the ones he finds in Grandpa’s garden. He picks them up at the zoo, the beach, everywhere.

My kids are 16, 15, 13, 10, and 6. My 10 and 6 year old are girls like rocks. My 6 year old is OBSESSED with rocks. We have tons sitting on my shelving on our front porch. We recently moved out into the country so they are always bringing home new rocks from their outside adventures. As for a favorite, none so far. We haven’t really gotten into what types of rocks we have. They just like to try to collect as many different ones as they can.

Sharon’s latest post: Mercies along the way…{entry no.48}
My son is 5 and loves interesting rocks that we find wherever we are. We haven’t identified types yet, so this would be some fun learning for us!
My kids are ages 6, 4, 3 and 1. Their favorite rocks are probably the Volkswagen sized boulders on our property. 🙂
My kids became especially interested in rocks during our trip to Theodore Roosevelt National Park (North Dakota) and our stop at the Cave of The Mounds in WI on our way back to out home in MI. I have to say Minecraft has, also, fueled this rock fascination. My oldest son’s favorite rock: Flint. My daughter, 8, likes obsidian. 4 y/o son likes petrified wood. And my 2 y/o like any that can be thrown. Watch out!
My son is 8, he loves fossils but if you asked him he would say his favorite rock is any that look cool. Lol.
My boys are 7 and 2 and both like finding and saving rocks, if we find some that seem to sparkle those tend to be the favorites. But we haven’t identified them so this would be great to help us do that!
I’ve already liked Simple Homeschool on fb and I just went and liked The World’s Most Fascinating Rock Collection. Thanks for this!
My kids are 6, 4, and 2. Their favorite rocks are gravel and the smooth, colorful rocks found at souvenir shops.
My daughter, 5, likes any rock with “fancy” colors, stripes, or sparkles. My son, 2, likes “Biiiiig” rocks he can throw in the creek!

My daughter is 5 and is in love with all things dinosaur. Fossils are her favorite kind of “rock”.

My children are 13,11,8 and 5. It would be hard to say what their favorite rocks are, they love rocks so much! But they are fascinated with geodes and anything with stripes through the middle, which we have in abundance here in Southern New England.
My kids are 6 and 8. My 6 year old son especially loves rocks. Any rock that sparkles is his favorite!

My oldest is 5, and her favorite rock is “all of them”. She keeps her rock “collection” on the windowsills, along with all of her other collected treasures.
My son is 6 and loves smooth river rocks.
I have a 5 year old boy and 3 year old girl who both stop to inspect and collect rocks nearly everywhere we go. We keep the nicest specimens in special and prominent place in our home. They like just about any kind of rock, but of course sparkly rocks get the most excitement.
My boys are 8 and 10 and LOVE rocks, though we have not really studied them yet. Some of their favorites are corprolites (because who doesn’t love fossilized dinosaur poop!) and agates because we can find them at our local beaches. But we would love to know more! Rocks are awesome – we have tons around the house, big and small, but mostly don’t know what they are.

4, 5, 7, and 32. Oh wait, that last one is my husband! (Majored in geology, most of the rocks I find around the house are ones he’s picked up) The kids don’t have a favorite other than “driveway rocks”. I don’t know that my husband has a favorite but he did a research paper on orthoclase, I think it was.
My son is 9 and all rocks are his favorite rocks, we both have rock collections.
My Holden would love this! His favorite rock is anything he picks up – I’d love to learn more about rocks with him through these kits!

My daughter turned 5 today and her favorite rock is iron pyrite
My boy is 9. I asked him what his favorite rock is, he said emerald. Kid has good taste!
Also, I’ve liked the fascinating rock FB page.
My 11 year old is the rock hound in our house and has already decided he will be a geologist. His favorites right now are Quartz and Topaz.
I like both of you on FB.
The kids ages are 11 and 4 and they love so many rocks. If we have to pick just two it would be agate and quartz. Thank you for sharing this great company!
My kiddos are 9,7,4 and 1. We visit the coolest gem shop every summer on vacation. So far, their favorites are pink quartz, emerald, and amethyst.
They are 4 and 6 and love any rock that stands out to them.
Mine are 7, 4, and 1. They do like to bring a lot of rocks, home, but I couldn’t identify many of them, so I don’t know their favorite. That’s why we’d need the curriculum! 🙂
Hi! My children are 11 and 8. My 8 year old “collects” rocks that he picks up randomly anywhere we go.
My kids are 11, 9, 5 and 3 and my 9 year old LOVES rocks, all kids and she collects them like they are going to be extinct pretty soon! She would love this!
My kids are 3 and 10. I know very little about rocks! But I do know that they like rocks that are shiny! 🙂
Hi, Our children are 12 and 11. They both pick up everything that looks “different” and they have many favorites.
My kids are 10,5,5, and 18 months. My kids love this piece of petrified wood that we have. They add it to every play, sand table and treasure. We love rocks!
Miss 6 says “I like diamonds best.”
Mr 4 say “My favorite rock is named Rocky.”
Newborn has no opinion about rocks.
Haha. Looks like we need to do more rock lessons! We really need The World’s Most Fascinating Rock Collection!!
I FB like The World’s Most Fascinating Rock Collection and Simple Homeschool.
My kids are 7,5,5 and 3. My kids favorite rocks are the “scoria gravel” we have in our drive way. It is clay that has been melted at some point. It is mostly red, but a lot of the pieces have beautiful coloring of yellow, purple and brown mixed in.
I have one eager to learn little boy who is 4 going on 25. Any rock that he collects magically becomes a cake he just baked, a hidden treasure chest, or an island for his dinosaur figurines. But by far his favorite rocks are the ones that look like fossils!
Our children are 6 and 3. Since this fall their favorite rocks have been some amethyst geodes that we hunted and found (!!) in the national forest not too far from our home. On the same trip we also came home with some agatized wood. (I think that’s correct, the six year old would know!) We would love to win this subscription, and I am happy to know about it even if we don’t. 🙂
My sweet babes are 7 and 5. We are big fans of geodes and quartz.
Liked them both on fb.
My kids are 9 and 7. They like all rocks (we have about a billion form the beach!) but anything that sparkles is especially loved!
My boys are 5, 3 and 1. Their favorite rocks are the ones they find on hikes!
My daughters are four and six. They love the thrill of cracking open geodes. The inside is always a mystery.
I have 3 boys ages 10, 7, and 3. They all love rocks, but I am not sure of what type, as my own geological knowledge is sadly lacking. Although I know enough to recognize when the rocks they pick up are actually just broken pieces of asphalt. It’s time to branch out and this Rock Collection sounds like just the ticket!
Jennifer B.’s latest post: Back in the Saddle: A New Homeschool Schedule
I never comment on these things but this just hits home! My oldest is 6 and she just has decided — TODAY! – that she wants to be a “scientist of rocks.” I never really thought about kids and rocks before reading this. She found a rather large smooth one over the summer in a creek visiting family in Ohio (we live in Texas) and today swore she found crystals in what I can’t bring to tell her is just a piece of brick. 😉 She also talks about how we still have to go mining for diamonds the next time we drive through Arkansas. So yes, a rock lover and I’d love to be considered for the giveaway! And just am grateful to hear about rocks being so valuable to a child’s learning process. Thank you!
My kids are 12, 10, 8 and 7. I don’t think they really have a favorite rock.
My boys are 12, 10, 8 and 4. Favorite rocks among them include pumice, obsidian, and Quartz, and any that can be found in our yard or any parking lot we stop in, especially gravel. 🙂
I have also liked Simple Homeschool and World’s Most Fascinating Rock Collection on Facebook.
My girls are 6 & 8. Their favorites are rose quartz (pink!) and pyrite (shiny!). But they also love those with layers and spots of other colors.
I have liked both Facebook pages. Thanks!
My kids are 9,7,4 and 20 mo. The older two’s favorite rock is obsidian. The younger two love any rock or other treasure they dig up.
My daughter is 9 and has always loved rocks, minerals and gemstones. When I asked what her favorite was, she had a tough time choosing just one, but for now it is Tourmaline.
Thanks
My kids are 8, 6, & 4. Our favorite rock is the one we just found.

My daughter is 7 and she doesn’t have a favorite because she loves them all. If they are sparkly, they go in her pocket. If they have cool coloring, winner! If they have a line down them, yay! She loves river rocks (but so do I!) too.
I like you both on FB as Idaho Jill, thanks!
My kids are 10 and 6. They both love quartz and try and find some every time they go digging in my yard!
Our children are 13, 12, 10, 8 and 5. All my kids love rocks for a variety of reasons and project usage. One is fascinated with flint and anything that can be turned into an arrow head for his backyard hunts!
What a fun curriculum this would be for my three boys!
My girls are 9 and 14. My 9 yr old LOVES rocks. Her favorites are amethyst, because it is gorgeous, and quay, because she can find it lots of places.

I like simple home school and the world’s most fascinating rock collection on fb.
My daughter is 6 and loves the gravel from parking lots. She always finds the “most special rock in the whole wide world” while walking through any and every parking lot we visit.

We liked the Facebook page too!!! (Daughter, age 6)

This would be great to have for all the rocks my 6 year old finds in the giant four feet deep hole he’s digging in our backyard!
My son is 9 years old and would love this! His favorite rocks are those that any he can find that are brightly colored or shiny!
Oh, and I am already a Facebook follower of both 🙂
My kids are 8 and 5. My 8 year old has been collecting rocks since he could walk, and his favorites are geodes. We would love to learn more about rocks!
My soon to be 5 year old loves all types of collections. She always makes a mini-rock collection when we take a nature walk. This would be a wonderful addition to her Kindergarten curriculum.
My children are 10, 5, 3, and 1. We love to hike, explore nature and are often checking out rocks and wondering what type they are. My two oldest often ask about how the rocks feel and the type. My 3 year old is mostly interested in the shape and color of rocks. Our 1 year old is an avid rock re-arranger. He spends hours in the backyard picking up rocks, walking a few feet, then dropping that rock so he can pick up another one.
My children are 3,6 and 8. They love rocks, but I have no idea what their names are!
My children are 7, 4, and 2. They love collecting smooth, shiny rocks from the beach! We have a glass jar on our table for collecting them.
I “liked” both on Facebook!
My son is 6 years old and his favourite rocks are fossils and quartz because they are shiny. My infant daughter who is 5 months is not yet too keen on rocks. 🙂

My daughter is ten. Her favorite is an amythest she purchased- her birth stone. My son is eight. His favorite is the one he most recently found – whatever that is.
My son Donovan, who is nine, would love this! His current favorite rock is geodes, but that could change tomorrow. We’ve only been homeschooling a few months and he’s still so damaged from schooling, I’m just trying to get him to see the joy in learning again, and I think this would be an awesome way to help. Thanks for the opportunity!
Liked both Facebook pages as well!
My son is 5 1/2 and just likes picking up rocks to look at/investigate. I’m sure a kit like this would only enrich his love of learning of the outdoors.

Aaack! We would LOVE this at our house! All of us – grown-ups, too – can’t seem to keep our hands away from picking up and bringing home rocks. This would be a delightful gift each month for ourselves.

My 9 year old son would love this! His favorite rock is the one in his hand or pocket when you ask him.
My kids are nine and seven. Although they find “cool” rocks almost anywhere, they love collecting new ones at the beach.
My 3 boys (5 1/2, 4 y.o. and 19 m. o.) are fascinated with rocks and try to collect as many as possible and my oldest is already very curious about their names, origin etc. I guess their favorite is Quartz right now because this is what they find the most.
My children are 8 and 4 and love finding rocks everywhere we go. Our largest collection came from visiting a rock beach in Maine, and I mean in diameter not quantity. I don’t find those rocks in the washing machine thankfully! My eldest is currently fascinated by geodes and my youngest by her newest discovery.
My two oldest are 9 and 7. They like digging for “fool’s gold” and collecting sea glass. My 4 yo collects any rocks that are bigger than his fist. He doesn’t discriminate.
My oldest is 9 and his favorite rock is anything sparkly/shiny! He really likes quartz and geodes. Also, polished agate…but he’s interested in almost any sort of rock.

Thanks for highlighting this company and for the generous giveaway opportunity!
My child is 4 and her favorite rock is anyone she can put in her pocket or climb on! 😉 She could play (or sit and look) for hours on the rock and gravel piles at her uncle’s house. She often asks if we can go to the local quarry to get “the rocks they don’t need”.

Gale’s latest post: Long Distance Love – A Sweet Valentines Gift
Our boys are 13 and 7 and have always liked rocks. They keep an eye open for ‘cool rocks’ when we go on walks or when they are playing outside. We have filled some glass containers full that adorn the bookshelves of our schoolroom. The windowsill above my kitchen sink always holds the latest collection. At times I have been known to sneak out and toss some rocks back onto the road to be refound–my sill runneth over!
I have a 2, 5, and 8 year old and their favorite rocks are the ones they just found.
My elementary-aged child loooooooves rocks! Every hike, outdoor event and camping trip results in new rocks for the collection, so this subscription sounds awesome! Favorite rock is a huge polished rock that was used as an Indian tool and found with grandpa. 🙂
Four kids (15, 13, 9 & 9)
One of my youngest kids, Emily, says there’s a pinkish black rock called “adventure” that she loves. Her grandma (my MIL) has been teaching them about rocks, so anything is possible. 🙂
My daughter’s favorite rock is a moonstone. Really any kind of rock will do though. We have quite a large collection. 🙂
What an awesome give away! My boys would be in absolute heaven. My six year old calls himself a “rock hound”- his favorite in his collection is a piece of Quartz that he was gifted.
