In my alter building activities over the years, I have been surprised that children actually "get" the concept easier than adults do. At least that is my experience. My niece Crystal looked around for a very long time before she actually found the perfect rock for me to include, and was very proud of finding it. She always checks my alter to see if it is still there. To me this rock represents her excitement about being a part of my alter. It also represents nature, the physical earth, as well as the timeless cycle of death and rebirth. Of which Crystal, of course, is a shining example.
