aaahhhh, the rock fairy!
You are correct and that is my position in a broad sense. I didn't realize we were talking about kids here so I guess they should experience the rock tumbler. It's still going to get used one time and then tucked away.c'mon SixDogs, it's the journey not the destination...

Let the kids put the rock in the tumbler, then while sleeping, exchange them for the polished ones

That's being kind of negative.
We bought one decades ago and the thing ground for 4 kids off and on.
IF
You take the children on "nature" walks etc
They collect small rocks
They have patience
you can make some nice "keeper" stones that are mementoes of where they were.
Most of ours have ended up on shelves in various bedrooms etc. as keepsakes.
