  • Join in the mission of GiGi’s Playhouse to change the way the world sees Down syndrome by spreading the message of acceptance, generosity, and kindness with 321 ROCKS!


    Grab some rocks, paint, markers, glitter glue, and other crafty goodies and get creative! Add words or drawings to spread positivity, awareness and our #GenerationG mission.


    Send your beautifully decorated 321 ROCKS on a storytelling journey by sharing them with friends and family or placing them in safe places within your community for others to discover! Put a smile on their face with a rockin’ reminder that the world is a better place for having people with Down syndrome in it!


    Be sure to include the hashtag #321ROCKS or the website 321rocks.com on your rock (or a note inside a plastic baggie with your rock) so people can learn more about the purpose behind 321 ROCKS!


    DON’T FORGET TO POST PHOTOS OF YOUR ROCKS ON SOCIAL MEDIA WITH #321ROCKS AND #GENERATIONG SO WE CAN SEE YOUR MASTERPIECES!


    You see, in medical terms, Down syndrome is Trisomy 21. A trisomy means a 3rd copy. Down syndrome is the result of a 3rd copy of the 21st chromosome. Individuals with Down Syndrome definitely ROCK that extra chromosome and need our help to change perceptions and break down barriers!
