The festive season is here, and what better way to keep young geology lovers engaged over the school holidays than with some Festive-themed geology activities? We’ve put together a special activity sheet packed with four fun and creative crafts that combine the magic of Christmas with the wonder of rocks, fossils, and dinosaurs.
Our Christmas Geology Activity Sheet includes four hands-on ideas that are perfect for children of all ages:
- Pebble Painting – Transform smooth pebbles into festive snowmen, robins, stars, or even tiny fossils. A perfect way to explore the textures and shapes of rocks while getting creative!
- Christmas Tree Pebble Stacks – Stack pebbles from largest to smallest to create your very own mini Christmas tree. Paint and decorate to make it extra special.
- Dino-Pebble Characters – Turn pebbles into dinosaurs! Add paint, googly eyes, and festive accessories to bring your prehistoric pals to life.
- Salt Dough Fossils – Make your own fossil imprints using salt dough and toy dinosaurs, shells, or leaves. A fun way to learn how fossils form while making lasting keepsakes.
These crafts are not only fun and festive, but they’re also a great way to explore geology at home. Kids will enjoy hands-on experiences with rocks, minerals, and fossils, all while using their creativity to make Christmas decorations and gifts.
We’ve made it easy to download and print so children can enjoy the activities wherever they are.
