What you'll need

How it works
-
Go on a treasure hunt for flat, round stones that are big enough to paint. Clean your treasures and let them dry.
-
Now it's time to get colorful! Use your favorite colors to paint the stones with positive words, cheerful images, or beautiful patterns. Let your little artworks dry.
-
If you want, you can seal your stones with clear varnish to make them weatherproof.
-
You can bring out your encouragement stones whenever you need a little boost. They remind you of how strong and wonderful you are.
