Do you like to collect something special? Have you ever noticed what kids like to collect? Rocks. Unh, huh. Its true. Walk outside with a child for five minutes and you'll have a collection of rocks to rival any Hummel or Precious Moments assortment you can buy. The difference, of course, is the price.
On the Fourth Day of Christmas, borrow from a favorite child's natural tendency to collect rocks and put it to something useful. Find a rock about the size of the palm of your hand or whatever is comfortable. Using markers or modeling paints, draw a face on one side of the rock and set it aside to dry. Next, surf the the internet for a poem titled, Prayer Rock. I posted a link, but there are other versions of this poem, so choose the one you like best.
Follow the directions on this site, wrap it nicely and you have a very nice gift for the Fourth day of Christmas.
Day one, a poem.
Day two, a story.
Day three, some games.
Day four, give glory.
We're on the right track for giving without a lot of spending for Christmas. Come back tomorrow for more fun.

I love these posts :) I left you a little something over at my blog :) http://kristifaith.blogspot.com
I know I'm probably older than you, but, "Will you adopt me?" I adore these ideas,each one more than the next!
No snow allowed on Prayer Rocks. Sorry, but the snow will have to wait to be included with another gift. :-)
Thank you, Kristi. I like little somethings.
As it happens, today is the day I am open to adoptions. :-) I'm so glad you are enjoying the ideas. I wonder if I can keep it up?
