Kids Craft: Prayer Rocks

Prayer rocks were an idea picked up in church when I was a kid. My mom brought us home & we each picked out a medium sized rock from the yard. Then we sat down at the table together & talked about why prayers were important, & that we all have trouble remembering to say them every night. So we each got to use the coveted acrylic craft paints to paint our rocks with whatever we wanted. My mom showed us how we could make dots by putting paint on the handle of paintbrush. It was wonderful together time. After the rocks dried, we each put them by the side of our beds. Then, when we climbed into bed, we usually stepped on the cold rock that reminded us, say your prayers. Hence the name, prayer rock. Works for me!
