T-shirt weather in early March is a rare treat on the prairie. Miss E and Miss A have had a friend to play with the past couple days and their first project together was collecting rocks outside and washing them. Then they got to work on the deck, painting rocks.
I once painted rocks with my lifetime friend Sara with the best paint we owned, nail polish. We were age 4 and 6. We then proceeded to sell them on a street corner. Our only buyers were our dads but we basked in our painted rock business success.

I didn’t plant the “selling idea” into Miss E’s head. We’ll save that for a lemonade stand summer day.
But the girls did master painting rocks with nail polish.
It was a fantastic, fresh air weekend art project and now we have a treasure collection of beautiful painted rocks.

too cute! looks like great fun!
They’ll always remember this…nail polish is perfect because it lasts!
My niece used fingernail polish to paint some round, smooth rocks on a beach in Maine, and we actually found one of them several years later.
Too cute! I never thought of using nail polish, Yahoo would love that! Great idea.
Yup, those girls aren’t having any fun at all! This weather was outstanding (when the wind wasn’t blowing us sideways). Looks like the girls had a great time with their play date!
The girls sure had a good time.
Love it!! Glad you are passing the art of rock painting down to the next generation. I think my Dad still has one of those beautiful rocks somewhere.
A fun project! Looks like they were loving it.
