Valentine's Day Heart Stones Craft for Kindness

Teach and spread kindness this Valentine’s Day with a Valentine’s Day Heart Stone Craft!⁣ ⁣ Supplies:⁣ several smooth rocks (river stone works great)⁣ acrylic paint⁣ foam brushes and cotton swabs⁣ ⁣ Instructions:⁣ Start by collecting smooth rocks, or you can also purchase rocks from a craft or home improvement store.⁣ ⁣ If using rocks you collected, then make sure they are clean and dry before you paint on them. I had an old grocery bag full of river rock from a long ago craft project that I gave my kids.⁣ ⁣ Next prepare your area for painting. Paint the base and once that has dried turn the rock over and paint the other side. Depending on your paint, you may need to put a second coat on.⁣ ⁣ Then, paint hearts on the rocks in a contrasting color.⁣ ⁣ Lastly, add your message to the back.⁣ ⁣ Share the love!⁣ ⁣ Go to a park, the mall, grocery store, library, public bathrooms, hospital waiting room… and place the rock in a place that is visible. You can put it anywhere on the floor, on a shelf, by a vending machine, etc.⁣ ⁣ If you are more comfortable, leave the heart stones at places where you are familiar with the people. You can share it with family members, at church, or even at school!⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #kidsactivities #kidsactivitiesblog #valentinesday #valentines #craft #valentinesdaycraft #teachkindness ⁣
