rock painting project

A dewy summer morning is my favorite part of the day. Beautful sky, birds chirping - what could be better? Enjoying the scenery with a cup of coffee engaging the boys in a project (so I can enjoy a hot cup of coffee). So far I have been engaging them in garden stuff but I came across this rock-painting idea from Disney's Family Fun Magazine and thought it would be great to do outside.

Tools:

• Rocks
• Paint
• Paint brush

The boys and I gathered rocks from our front yard and cleaned off any that had dirt on them. I put down an old vinyl tablecloth on our back deck and had them paint the rocks. It was easy to clean up with the hose right there and I think the rocks turned out great! Have a look!
