Thank you!

I agree with your comment, about the different ways you can incorporate different learning through rocks and the children can also help collect the rocks for it to be hands on.

Young children enjoy counting things in their environmet which makes this outside play a great learning environment.

I feel learning skills through this type of activity is essential to the early childhood brain.

Feel children would love to engage in learning through rocks so many different ways to use them and incorporate the learning process through play

There is a variety of math activities children can do with rocks: sorting big and small, counting, measuring how big someone with rocks, stacking, fine motor skills (placing the rocks in and out of a container with tongs, gross motor skills (throwing/skipping the rocks in a lake) etc.

This falls in the line of patterns and measurements. You can ask the children to put rocks in patterns by big or small, or ask how many rocks do you need to stack to make tall or short, or how many rocks do we need to make the bucket heavy ?
