rock painting!

H and S experienced much joy playing with color today.

"rainbow swirls" is what H called her first one


S envisioned a sunshine and a rainbow on one of his. On the others, he excitedly experimented with blending colors; choosing two and seeing what how they looked together.

Purple and blue created his favorite result.

H was meticulous about covering every single spot on all of her rocks. She's eagerly waiting for them to dry so that she can paint the bottoms. Leave no spot unpainted!


I just enjoyed watching them make create beautiful works of art before my eyes, freely and fully in the moment.


One thing I found is I really enjoy the way a rock's surface seems to accept paint so readily. Such an easy and satisfying project for any age. These will look beautiful in the garden.

And what a fine way to spend an afternoon.
