[Rockhounds] Another preschool question

[Ronald and Patricia Potter-Efron]

Another preschool question...I agree with Kreigh, sparkle is something one 
keeps where one can see it. I have on occasion given a small geode to a 
child in therapy and said "This is your memory stone. You can remember what 
you learned, and if you want, you put the memories you want to keep in it, 
and they will all be there when you go look at it."  Pat PE
