There’s something magical about turning something ordinary into something extraordinary—especially when your kids are the artists behind the transformation. After reading Scribble Stones by Diane Alber, my kids couldn’t wait to make their own painted rock creations. And just like in the story, a simple stone became something joyful, colorful, and full of personality.
As I had previously mentioned in our post for National Reading Month, we don’t go a day without a book of some kind. We absolutely love to read around here and sometimes our activities are inspired by the books we read. I am so glad today’s activity was inspired by our book because this was a fun activity. This is one of those wonderfully low-prep activities that taps into big creativity. It combines storytelling, outdoor play, and art—and the best part? Your kids’ imaginations will do most of the work.
