The Learning Difference

”In Rocks and Roly Polies, children learn about rocks and minerals and their everyday uses alongside their Roly Poly friends. Children create a virtual rock collection that includes sedimentary, igneous and metamorphic rocks. Children can extend their learning by exploring flashcards about weather, the plant lifecycle, seasons, the water cycle, and the phases of the moon.” –Elizabeth B., Learning Expert
