A Year and a Day, Issue 20: Crystals & Caves

Exploring the world of crystals and minerals is an exciting way to see the beauty of our planet and learn about the amazing ways nature creates different shapes and colours. Have you ever wondered how crystals form or where they come from? We have, so we put together this issue to answer some of your questions!

In this issue, we’ll journey into caves and other magical places to discover the secrets of crystals.  We’ll explore why crystals are special to people, how they can bring joy to our lives, and where you might find them.  We'll take a peek into mysterious caves and unravel the secrets they hold. We’ll also share activities to help you make your own crystal or learn how to make your cave for a nature table.

Along with enjoying the mysterious secrets hidden in the caves from our stories, we hope that by the time you finish reading this magazine, you’ll know how to:

•  Cook vegetables with the right amount of salt
• Draw a gnome 
• Write and read the letter I
• Make your own herbal salt or edible crystals
• And much more!
