On November 4th we had a lot of fun with all the rocks we collected at Mt Apatite.
Here is a recap of some of our activities:
Make an Inuksuk
Check out Mary Wallace's Book 'The Inuksuk Book' to learn about how the Inuit used rocks to leave impressions upon the land.
Build your own Inuksuk:
Ranger Rick-Make an Inuksuk
Wearable Rock Crafts
We took inspiration from the following sources to make headbands and necklaces
Crystal Necklaces and Princess Headbands
Rock Necklaces
Nature Inspired Art
Our members had fun using their rocks, colored clay, branches, and googly eyes to make rock creatures.
Taking inspiration from a book about Henry Moore, a sculpter, who got his inspirations from items from nature (rocks, bones, wood, etc), members could sketch their rocks on paper and then make their drawing come alive with clay.
Rock Identification
Given assorted Rock guide books, members could research their rocks
Once identified, it is a good idea to label the underside of your rock or mineral with the following information:
Your initials, the date you found the item, the name of the item, and where you found it.
