Smooth rocks, like those found on the beach or in a river bed, work best for this project.
Take the kids out to search for ones that lay flat and are generally round or oblong in shape. If you don’t live near water, you should be able to get some from your local garden supply store.
Make the most of this weekend with this easy step by step project idea from Resene.

Dice, a 9-year-old black poodle, and Weed, a 3-year-old black and white fox terrier cross, were first reported missing from the Otago Peninsula by their owners Alan Funnell and Louisa Andrew on October 17.
Andrew said on the first and second day New Zealand went into level-four lockdown in response to Covid-19, there were two potential sightings in Kaikōura. There was also another potential sighting in Picton last Friday, April 3.
"It's very difficult, we had a sighting in Kaikōura, which on day one of lockdown sounded really promising," Andrew said.
