We collected our rocks over time. Then, we washed the dirt off of them and let them dry.
We used many different sizes, shapes and colors!
T found some mossy sticks to paint as well.
A good hour or so later, we finally finished painting all our rocks and set them out near our front step.
I loved how they turned out.
T now has been asking to paint rocks every single time we go outside. I do want to do it again, especially since our paint, sadly, got quickly washed away by the rain.
I sprayed acrylic sealent spray on them in hopes that it would keep the paint on the rocks at least a little while. I even put the rocks under the overhang of our house, but they quickly washed off in the first rain. I admit, I was quite disappointed. We both worked really hard on our rock paintings. But, then again, it just gives us a good reason to paint more rocks! And seeing how T loves doing it so much, I definitely see us doing this activity again. Especially when the weather starts to warm up. (Hopefully soon!)
After we made our rock garden, T was being her silly, 3-year old self and started making funny faces.
Then, she asked to take pictures of me making silly faces. So, I obliged.
I love days like these.
