Yesterday I told you while you were out gathering leaves to paint that you should pick up a rock, too. We’re going to use it today in a simple rock painting activity. All you need for this one is a rock, some paint and a paintbrush or two. I decided mine kind of looked like […]
Paint a Stick
Following in the vein of needing easy crafts that I knew I could accomplish this week, I decided to do something that’s been on my list for some time but I hadn’t done it because it seemed too easy. Nothing was too easy for this week. Today all we’re going to do is paint a […]
