We made a painted paperweight with a love note to Dad (the ladybug was just an added touch by my four year old). Our neighbor is an 80 year old woman that we have adopted as our own grandma. One of her hobbies is painting rocks as animals and they're adorable! Here's some of the smaller ones she's done:
Here's the book she uses for her ideas:
We painted the face of the rock (multiple layers are best).
After we let it dry, we added the hand-written note.
You can spray the rocks with a polyurethane to give an added shine and seal the paint.
You could also put their hand print on the rock if it fits!
We're headed out to Lake Powell for a week and I think we'll bring some paints to try out some of the animals in that book. What a fun summer activity!
Happy Father's Day to all those awesome dad's out there. Thank goodness for the good ones.
