When we go to the farm in the country we like to do crafts.
We set up a craft table and leave it up all summer!

A typical day in the country goes like this:
*Early morning walk with the dogs*
*Cooking breakfast together*
*Swimming laps*
*Spend the day by the pool*
*Change clothes*
*DO CRAFTS*
*Grill out*
*Watch movies~make homemade ice cream~frog hunt~bonfire~or star watch*
*Go to bed*
This summer we decided to paint rocks.

If you haven't painted rocks in awhile...you need to.
It's totally therapeutic.
It's relaxing.
It's the perfect way to end a day on the farm.

To paint rocks you'll need water-based acrylic paints...in fun colors.
And Mod Podge!
Begin by painting the rocks.
Paint several rocks at a time letting the paint dry in between designs like stripes and dots.

ReplyDeleteTeresa....these really are DARLING! I am so, so terrible at crafts, so I love crafts projects that look easy and aren't to "fiddly." ;) Wish I would have thought of this when we were homeschooling, but hey, it's not too late. I'm gonna find some MANLY paint colors for my boy. ;)
ReplyDeleteFun fun fun my friend....you always make me smile when I come visit! Love this idea...and your rocks are so darling.
