I’m pleased you stopped by, Jenni, and shared your activities with your grandchildren that involve rocks and shells. Youngsters usually find these natural objects fascinating, along with gens. There is so much they can learn, too.

Thank you, Peggy, for stopping by and sharing your seashells. When I was a youngster, painting shells and rocks was popular. My daughter and her cousins painted rocks, too, when we looked around for craft activities to entertain them and explore their creativity.

This so cool, I went to my oldest grandchild’s birthday party, and gave her a book on rocks. Which I have done over the years, with some some stones to make a necklace. I got a book on shells for her, and the one younger than her, to learn about shells too. For those who want to take it to the next level, there are those gem something society groups. They take kids to places to learn about geography, rocks and the like. If the child is into it, it is good to encourage it.

We picked out some beautiful shells for our nephews from the beach. They loved them, but wanted to paint them with nail polish!
