This kit was purchased at ACMoore craft store and contained everything needed to make one stepping stone. Toodie loves to be outside and is always playing in the backyard picking flowers, observing nature, and chasing bugs. She was excited to make her own yard decoration that she could appreciate everyday!
Toodie added water very slowly to the mixture and stirred until it was a thick batter to be poured inside the square mold.
The kit came with a bag of chunky glitter to spread across the surface. This would make the stone sparkle in the sun. Toodie sprinkled it on, more generously in some areas than others. Then it was time to make her tiny hand print in the squishy mud.
After we imprinted the stone with Toodie’s hand print it was mommy’s turn to carve her name with a popsicle stick. On to the decorating next..
Toodie enjoyed decorating her stepping stone with crystals and colorful rocks.
After all of the jewels and rocks were in place, it was time to let it bake in the sun.
We let it sit for 24 hours to dry completely and then cleaned the surface gently with a damp toothbrush. This removed all of the dust and extra particles stuck to the stone.
After a little TLC we found a spot for it in the yard.
With it being very rainy and wet here lately, it adds a little bit of color and sparkle to the damp rocks underneath.

Oh how pretty! Thank you for posting this, because I bought one of those for Noah & he hasn't made it, yet 😀 I'm gonna get it right now and prep it, so he can make his, too 🙂 Awesome. Your baby girl is so pretty and she made a beautiful stepping stone 🙂

Thank you! This kit was so much fun and a great buy- i even got it on sale. I kept putting off making it because i thought it would end up making a huge mess but it wasn't so bad. These make great Father's Day gifts too 🙂 I can't wait to see your little one's creation!
