Your Town Rocks is a chance to brighten up your local area and bring a smile to someone’s face with a beautifully decorated stone in a place they weren’t expecting.
What to do
Collect some stones on a walk – look for smooth stones that are nice shapes. You won’t need many to start, a couple is enough. You may want to keep your eye out now to find somewhere to put your stones when they are finished.
At home, paint designs onto your stones. Think about messages that you might want to leave for others to find. What would make people smile if they find your stone?
You can use paint or pens to decorate your stones. When you are happy with your design and the paint is dry, varnish your stones to seal the design.
Take your stones with you on your walk to the place you found to put them. Keep your eyes open to see if anyone else has painted any stones and placed them for people to find.
