January 7 – Old Rock Day

A Stepping Point by James Knickelbein

Contrary to what you might think, today is not all about celebrating the rock-n-roll classics of yesteryear.  Rather, it has to do with appreciating fossils and rocks of all kinds.  Some suggestions I found for celebrating today include encouraging children to adopt a pet rock, grooming a rock garden, making jewelry out of beautiful stones, painting rocks, or making a rock stack.

However, based on the snow cover map linked below, very few people in the northern part of the Northern Hemisphere can get to outdoor rocks today!

I think there are still a few options open to those of us under the white blanket.  Here are a few ideas from Amazon to get you started.

   

Or if you are really buried or super-super-sub-zero, and willing to dig down through the snow to find some rocks, check out my pinterest board for some homemade activities.

It would be a great day for working on a fairy garden too!

Hi, so glad you are here!

Every day has a celebration! Some days celebrate a certain food, idea, or activity. Sometimes a day is set aside to remember or to increase awareness of a need. Each and every day should be celebrated by spending time with family and friends enjoying whatever time we are given.
