What exactly can you make using a wooden box and colored stones?
Well ... let's add a little cement to the wooden box.
And then smooth it out ...
Put our hands in it ...
Add some colored stones ...
Voila ... instant stepping stone.
And this is THE most amazing, MOST beautiful stepping stone ever!
We plan to move this to the walking area in front of our front porch as soon as it gets good and set up. Mike and Griffin had so much making this fun project together ... and I have to say ... Griffin is quite proud of it.
That is really awesome. What a great project for the boys to do. And what a great heirloom for the family. I know you are all proud of that.
ReplyDeleteI love it! You could make a whole walkway - one stone for every year! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat fun! I love those, the kids did one for bible school last year.
ReplyDeleteCute Cute!
my kids have made these for me too. one of mine recently broke :(
ReplyDeleteGreat Idea!
ReplyDeleteCole made one for me in Pre-K and I still have it. I cherish it with his little hand prints in it:)

So sweet!!!!
ReplyDeleteWow...so cute and a wonderful heirloom for you! I like Hidi Ann's idea...make one each year and have a whole walkway.
ReplyDeleteI vaguely recall summer school crafts---recall making my dad a plaster of paris ashtray, which I had painted a garish red color glaze----hmm, now with smoking being such a sociall no no, guess its now 10 pound stepping stones---I KNOW Griffen is proud of it---you need to save it and give it to him on his first marriage anniversary---his wife will LOVE it!!
ReplyDeleteThat Mike is a keeper. What a great project. I like the stone a year idea.
ReplyDeleteGriffin can start his own line of stepping stones.....call it Stones by Griffin....I would like to order 4 please
ReplyDeleteHi there! Hey, that looks really cool! I just may hi-jack that idea for my side yard (less the hand prints...ok, maybe paw prints instead) :)
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome idea! Griffin should be proud of his handiwork. Love his sweet little hand prints. Very cool!
ReplyDeleteThat is wonderful! A friend of mine's husband does that for his wife every year - they are working on that walkway ;-)
ReplyDeleteThat was a great project for the guys. We poured a walkway from our porch a few years back and Katlyn did the same thing. Hand prints forever.
