Once your child’s garden rocks are painted the way he/she would like them, lay them out in the sun to dry. Once they are dry (it doesn’t take long…maybe 20-30 minutes), pick a spot in your flower garden, vegetable garden, beside your mailbox, or even by the front door to place your painted garden rocks! You child will love to go outside and look at their colorful creations each day. When they see that you like the things they created, they will feel a huge sense of pride and self worth!
