Garden Rocks for Grandma

Still looking for an idea for Mother's Day for your kiddos to give their Grandma's???

 My Little Man and nephew just spent the morning making these:

Ladybug garden rocks for the leading ladies in our lives!!  My sister and I wanted a way to honor OUR mom's through our kiddo's.  Our Mom loves to garden and has the greenest thumb of anyone I know.... so we painted these pretty rocks so she can think of her grandchildren when she sees them!

We started out with 3 oval rocks and painted them red. 

To help guide the kids when painting the spots, I painted a line down the middle of each rock.  I also painted the eyes and mouth.

The boys painted the spots using black paint and a cue-tip.  We only helped a little!  :)

When the black paint was dry, we sprayed each rock with a coat of sealant to protect the rocks from weathering in the outdoors.

All done!

We made cards with a cute poem on the inside.  The poem is so perfect!  When I was a teacher, my students made these each year for their Mom's on Mother's Day, but I think this will work just perfect for Grandma!!

Of course you can download the ladybug poem here if you want to make your own!!  Enjoy your weekend!
