Grab a permanent marker and a bunch of smooth stones and let your kids spell out their feelings for fun. We are thinking of leaving a few of these stone messages on our friends’ front steps or scattering a couple on the beach for a bit of mysterious word art communication.
Sharpies + stones = fun.
Such a simple project, but you'd be surprised by how much can come out of it.
A lot to say.
We do this too! On New Years Eve our family writes something that we’d like to leave behind or forget about that year on a piece of paper and toss it into the fireplace…the next day..New Years Day we all write on a stone what we hope for the new year and throw it in the ocean.
That is a wonderful tradition Pam – I love it! C
I remember doing this as a kid. My friend and I made a whole town full of people. We named them after the characters on her mom’s soap opera. I think it was The Young and The Restless. Man, we played with those rocks for hours.
Lia – that is too funny! I had a good laugh at this – I can just imagine my girls doing something similar. Thanks for sharing, C
I love this! My boys made me some rocks for my herb garden. They used paint markers and wrote the names of the herbs on them. Also, I made a rock, well, I didn’t make the rock…ha ha…I wrote on a rock for my son “Mom rocks”. I put it on his dresser. I thought that was a pretty clever play on words if I do say so myself! LOL Love your blog, you always have the most wonderful ideas ever!
Bonnie – That is so cute!
really nice, simple, fun & i like the idea of leaving them for other folks to discover.
Thanks for sharing…
we’ve collected a few rocks i’ve been meaning to do this with for ourGARDEN – maybe we’ll give it a try this wknd!!! XoXo~Bless Up Always~XoXo
Do you have to bake them afterwards so it won’t fade away?
