Kindness Rocks

Time:20 min Difficulty:Easy  

Kindness rocks are special. They’re a joyful gift, a special treasure, a secret surprise, but they all have the same goal: to bring joy and hope to those who find them. It’s time to be kind!

Here’s what you need:

  • Rocks
  • Acrylic paint (as many colours as you want)
  • A paint dish
  • A marker

Here’s how you make it:

Step 1: Pour some paint into your paint dish. You can either mix several colors or use just one.

Step 2: Paint your rocks! You can create fun patterns, and add pretty drawings or decorations.

Step 3: With your marker, write some sweet and encouraging messages! Remember: Be kind!

Some ideas: “Find your hope”, “Don’t forget what’s good”, “You matter”, “Believe in yourself, you can do anything!”, “Laughter is key to life”, “Follow your heart”, “You are loved”, “Every moment matters”, “You don’t have to be perfect, be yourself”, “You are strong”, “You got this!” or “Just breathe”

Step 4: Repeat the above steps with as many rocks as you’d like! Are you planning to give some to someone special, or hide them for a stranger to find? Make as many as you might need for this.

Step 5: Once done, it’s time to hide your kindness rocks! If you plan them to be for friends/family, put them somewhere in their house for them to find. If you want to make others’ days a little brighter you can go out into your neighborhood, and drop them off somewhere for people to discover!

TIP: 
Kindness rocks are supposed to be nice, but remember that not all places allow them! Check your local parks and trails if you’re allowed, and do not place them in national parks where they’ll disturb wildlife. Ask your zoos, schools, and community centers if kindness rocks are permitted. Who knows? If they say yes, you might make someone’s sad day much happier!

Kindness is important! Spread love and joy by being kind to others.

  8. This is such a great idea! There is this place where we live called a rock garden where there is a pile of rocks painted and you can take a rock from there and then put a rock that you painted into the pile! It’s really fun!
