MessA little messy

You need

  • Smooth rocks
  • Paint or paint pens

Let's play

  1. Paint rocks with bright colors, hearts and smiley faces.
  2. Add a kind word: "smile", "you rock", "friend".
  3. Let them dry.
  4. Hide them on a walk for someone to find and smile at.
Grown-up tip: Ask: how do you think the person who finds it will feel?
