If you are looking for an advent calendar that really rocks, then there is no need to dig further! The 2022 National Geographic Gemstone Advent Calendar from Blue Marble can be the cornerstone of Christmas!
Throughout the month of December, kids can discover merry minerals when they open each of the 24 advent doors. The gorgeous gemstones in the calendar include Green Aventurine, Turquenite, Blue Quartz, Red Jasper, Rose Quartz, and many more.
But there is much more to the calendar than just discovering the gems. The set comes with a pouch to store them all and five jewelry settings to create unique jewelry with the gemstones. One particular piece that kids might love to flaunt is the Rose Quartz stone that kids unearth from a mini dig brick on Day No. 24.
In addition to having fun discovering new stones, kids can learn about them, too. The Advent Calendar kit contains a sheet that explains each stone with a fun fact about them. Adults can help kids mine for more information and encourage them to learn about the country the stone is from, how they can use the rock, and more. Kids can learn geography, science, culture, and trade concepts in the process!
Even if your kiddo does not celebrate Christmas, consider adding it to your cart for other celebratory circumstances. For example, it can be a countdown to a birthday or you can let kids open a door for a good behavior reward! Parents will particularly be pumped to know that these are genuine stones and not artificially made, so kids are getting the good stuff.
Whether your kiddos are opening these throughout the year or getting it as a gift just in time for Christmas, it will surely “boulder” them over!
