Paint

Palette
Scrap paper to work on

All of the positivity rock activity supplies. Including small smooth rocks, paints on the palette, assorment of brushes, and some scrap paper

STEP 1:

Wow you collected some amazing rocks! Before you start painting, why don’t you sort through them and decide if any would work especially well as one thing or another. For example, if you have a very round rock – maybe this would look awesome as an orange, or a flatter, longer one might be perfect for a special message of positivity.

Once you’ve sorted go ahead and start painting!

STEP 2:

You may need a few layers of paint on each rock to make sure the color comes out nice and bright! Make sure to let the first layer of paint dry before adding another. The same goes if you’re adding a special message, let the base layer dry before writing any words on top.

Need some inspiration for fun messages? We’re so glad! Here are some ideas to play with:

You Rock
Smile
Find Yourself
Be Yourself
Shine Bright

Once you’re done painting, lay your rocks out to dry completely.

STEP 3:

One of the best parts of this activity is finding a special place to put your Positivity Rocks once you’ve finished making them. Will you place them by a window indoors? Put them in the garden outback? Or maybe take a special trip to the park and leave them along a path for others to find and enjoy? It’s up to you!
