A Quick and Easy
Stepping Stone
|
You will need:
Sand (this can be colored fish tank sand as well as
regular play sand)
Disposable Gladware container - Entree Size
Vasaline
Concrete - Found at the hardware store.
Decoration - Glass Globs, Stones, Shells - pretty much
anything waterproof. |
 |
Gather everything
together.
|
 |
Use the Vasaline to
grease the inside of the container.
This will allow the stone to slide out easily.
|
 |
Put about 1/4" of sand
in the bottom of the greased container.
|
 |
Have the kids arrange
their decorations in the sand. Put the side you want to
see face down into the sand.
|
 |
Mix the concrete with
enough water until it has the consistency of pancake mix
and lay it gently into the container.
|
 |
Fill the container to
the top.
If you want, put the lid on top of the
container and the wet stone can be taken home.
Handle with care.
|
 |
After about
24 to 48 hours, turn it gently out onto newspaper and
very gently brush the sand away from the decoration.
Your stone is done. |
