This week’s pick is a cool toy for a budding geologist, or any child who has an interest in rocks. The Model T Kit Rock Tumbler, albeit expensive, is a durable piece of equipment that will provide kids with a beautiful collection of polished stones. The Tumbler comes with a polishing rock, four grades of polishing abrasives, jewelry findings and an informational booklet.

Toy name:                      Model T Kit Rock Tumbler
Manufacturer:                 Tru-square Metal Products
Recommended age:       12 and up
Price:                              $79.26 through amazon.com
 
Be forewarned however that it takes quite some time for the rocks to reach their full, polished potential. The Tumbler can also be quite loud. This is certainly a toy where patience is a virtue, but if your child is interested in rocks, the final results are worth the wait.
 
 
 
 
Each week, I will feature a creative, imaginative and fun toy that has been kid-tested and approved.
