Selena-

What age?

Start at the Library: Make color copies of rock pictures....look for the Eyewitness books. You can then cut these out and make little minibooks of the rocks your child picks to learn more about. Depending on their age, let them choose the ones that sound interesting, or look interesting. (Say...pick 10 or something, 5 for youngers.)

Other ideas:

You could make a circle book that shows the earth's layers, or an accordian book.

Explore your backyard...or go on a nature walk. Take picture, and a notebook. Sketch what your child sees,

Borrow a rock tumbler, and let your child polish rocks.


Anyone else?

I found a "purchase" lapbook here, it's kinda spendy for use, but maybe in your budget?
