Rocks and Minerals for Little Eyes

Product Description

Looking for a fun, hands-on way to introduce geology, rocks, and minerals to your young learners? Rocks and Minerals for Little Eyes is part of the Little Eyes curriculum series, designed especially for PreK–3rd grade students. This engaging study introduces children to rocks and minerals while teaching geology from a Biblical worldview.

This study helps children understand the world around them while learning to view what they observe in light of God’s Word. Building that foundation early can help prepare children to think biblically when they encounter questions about science, creation, and the age of the earth later on.
