14 Fun and Easy Ways to Play in Your Own Backyard

A rock is a wonderful canvas for paint. Collect some rocks that are about the size of an adult hand, and have the kiddos plan out a base colour, design, and a colour for the design. The rock could even serve as a birthday, Mother’s Day or Father’s Day card if the artists elect to write messages on it. Work in stages to allow the base coat to dry and then the next colour, designs and words. It makes a great desktop paperweight or doorstop and will be a lovely reminder of a fun day outside.
