I think it’s not so much about what’s inside as it is about the fact that I took the time to put it together for her and bring a little extra fun to each day for her as Christmas approaches.
This project was quick and fairly simple, perfect for little attention spans.. You start off by painting the rocks in your choice of color.We used Patio Paints made by DecoArt because they’re made to go outside and be weather resistant.
You could always use regular paint though and cover them with some kind of a sealer too.The paint takes about 15 minutes to dry..If you want to let your kids go wild with this, but don’t want your garden to look like a rainbow threw up in it, then do what I did!
Only bring out a few colors of paint for this project.That way, no matter what kind of creations your kids come up with, it will still be a look you love.
I used a couple of different fresh greens, and a white.. After the paint has dried, it’s time to write the names of the things you’re growing onto your rocks.
If you kids are young, you can help them with this, but if they’re older it’s fun to let them do it themselves.. That’s really all it takes and now you’ve got some fun garden markers to use in all your gardening adventures!.That’s what happened here back in December and I’ve been saving it until Easter to share it with you!.
I’ve really REALLY been craving things that are fresh and green and alive and beautiful lately.It could have something to do with the 2.5 seconds of sunshine we’re getting each day, or the grey-brown color of the world in general right now.
I know everything will be bursting into green within 2-3 weeks, but why not help it along a little?.Can you guess what these bright green “grass clippings” are really made out of?.
