Before this activity, have children bring in three rocks to show during small group and collect small milk cartons, one for each child. Read Let's Go Rock Collecting by Roma Gans. Have children share where they found their rocks. Reiterate parts of the book and share that each one of them can start their own rock collection. Cut the tops of the milk cartons so that they resemble open containers. Have the children decorate and label their carton using paint. After the paint dries, the children can place their rocks inside and continue to collect rocks until their carton is full. Provide magnifying glasses for the children to examine their rocks up close.This can be done in small group.
