Description:

It seems the craze these days and what an interesting one...Take a decent size rock (I would say no smaller than 1.5 inches) and paint it. Make it colorful and interesting. Send to your one partner. Feel free to send more than one. You are then done with the swap.

What are people doing with these rocks? Ok, so the idea behind it is to paint rocks and place them around your town for the young (and the young at heart) to find. This is a fun, affordable way to get everyone's minds off the stresses of the world and make outdoor activities even more fun! Theres only one set of rules that I have saw so far : If you find a rock, you can keep or re-hide.

I have personally found several online facebook groups specific for my town. They are finding these hidden rocks and taking a picture of them and posting on the group. It looks like a lot of fun.

There are tons of inspiring pictures on pinterest or google. Just search and you will find a lot of ideas.

TIP I LEARNED : after the paint dries, use mod podge to "seal" it. Then after it dries, use a spray sealant over that. This will "Rain-proof" it.

YOU CAN use markers/pens/etc.
