Two summers ago, my kids and I were exploring our city playing Pokémon GO!
Last summer, we were exploring by joining in a fun “treasure hunt” of hiding and finding painted rocks. If you’ve ever heard of The Kindness Rocks project, or if you’ve been so lucky to find a hidden rock in your city, then you’re familiar with what I’m talking about.
Along with using the hashtag #TheKindnessRocksProject – in my city we also have our own Facebook group and hashtag called #PensacolaRocks
Chances are, there’s one around your town too.
There was a lull during the cold weather months, but not only have we found a few painted rocks around town recently, but the kids are asking to paint and hide them again now that the weather is warmer.
This past weekend, we created a few. I specifically wanted to share the ones we made just in time to hide for St. Patrick’s Day.
If you like ours, feel free to copy them! They were fun to make, and if they’ll make another person smile today, then go for it!
We painted ours with a few shades of green, and a super shiny gold paint pen.
Then, we used Posca and gelly pens for the details.
Of course for St. Patricks Day, shamrocks, rainbows, pots of gold at the end of rainbows, and any cute quotes will work well.
My favorite products to use for painting rocks:
Mulit-colored Posca Paint Pens
Rust-Oleum Crystal Clear Gloss Sealer
