Stones! They’re bumpy. They’re smooth. They’re hard. They’re chalky! There’s so much to love about the abundance of stones in your child’s local environment. From parking lots to local parks, rocks call us to examine them and all their crystalline details. Is that a layer of quartz? Your child is about to know after the lessons in this STONE theme!
The activities in this unit are rock-solid, using simple, crafty materials you likely have around the house. Plus, you’ll be relieved to find the done-for-you printable materials inside the packet: just print, cut and start teaching!
“Today he said he wanted to do science at home & I asked him if he wanted to learn about stones. Sensory / experimental things are always a good lead for us so we are having some fun making rocks using the recipe from STONE.” – Laura
“I was really surprised how big of a hit sculpting rock formations was! It seems like almost 4 is a time of rapidly increasing concentration here!” – Sal & Abby
“I’ve never been so excited to have a collection of rocks! 😂” – Katie
Rock solid learning fun in store with these stone-related activities, including classifying rocks by type, exploring the world’s most famous rock formations, creating paper pyramids, and more. Over 60 pages of printables, visual directions, a monthly pacing guide, materials lists, book recommendations, and more. 2022 Edition.

I found this theme supportive of both the first and second great lessons. Fossils, geology, geomorphology….oh yeah!

It’s hard to say, but I think this is one of my personal favourite themes so far. I learned at least as much as my child did! The pyramid geometry activity was the biggest and most unexpected hit for us, and is something we’re still coming back to months later!

This unit has so many great activities we couldn’t get through them all before it snowed here in New Hampshire. Each of my children participated in different activities, my 6.5 year old loved using a scale, while my almost 3yo laid stones out according to size and them arranged them into a beautiful circle. What I love the most about the themes is they always inspire extensions and I just let the kids run with it!

Review from a real 3yo: “I loved “Rock” month! I loved collecting beautiful and intriguing stones.” the books suggested were very popular in our house.

We really got into this one, since my 8 and 5 year olds have had a stone collection going for years now! We had fun making our own sedimentary rock to add to our collection too. Learning about rocks and rock formations was made easy, and diving deeper was even easier with the suggestions for each age range after each activity. The suggested reading book list was one of our favorites so far. Highly recommend this theme, as there are so many ways to expand upon it and be inspired!

I love this theme and I love how the stacking rocks is similar to the pink tower activity. I really appreciate how connections are made to traditional Montessori activities.
