This week we will be creating our own Inspirational Word Rocks to kick off 2021. I personally love choosing a word each year, and having a tangible and hand-made reminder of it! This is a great activity to do with your family and kids of any age. Little ones might decide to paint a picture of something they love on their rock! We will be using acrylic paint, and I'll go over some basic color mixing and some different font / lettering tips! Can't wait.

Here are the supplies you'll need for this week's sesh:

• 1-3 collected rocks *washed and dried beforehand (any size - but I usually choose ones that are flat and at least 3 inches across)

• acrylic paint / water / drying cloth / paint pallet (can use a piece of foil or paper plate!)

• large and detail paint brushes

• blow dryer or fan (super helpful between layers!)

• pencil and eraser

• 1 piece of scratch paper

• paper towel

• a drying area (a piece of wax paper in a cookie tray would work great)

• optional: sharpie, paint pens, mod podge + brush, glitter paint, etc.
