Let’s paint the World!

Summer is winding down and everyone is sure to hit the beach one more time. Here is an idea for something fun and crafty to do that my niece came up with. When we went to the beach she collected a bunch of rocks. Her mom had brought some acrylic paint and paint brushes. We used the water from the lake and extra cups from the lunch we packed to hold water to clean off the brushes. The kids had a great time painting all of their creative designs on the rocks. Be sure to pack an old beach towel to paint on as it is much easier for the budding artist to express their creativity. The next time we went to another park by a river, she was collecting rocks again to paint when she got home!
