Liverpool Kindness Rocks Summertime Fun

All the Seedlings enjoyed making Kindness Rocks over the last term. The older children asked if they could paint some over the summer holidays as they didn’t get a chance because they were at school.

We thought it would be good to extend the activity by using clay to make the shapes to paint.

First we had to kneed the clay to make it malleable to roll out. Then they chose a cutter and pressed it into the clay to make the shape. It was then laid out on some card ready to dry.

We had to leave them overnight again as they hadn’t completely dried out.

Painted Rocks

The children worked hard to paint the clay rocks ready to hide.

We found just as many as we hid! We ended up going out for three days to hide them all!
