What is it with kids and rocks? They end up in pockets of shorts and jackets, and ultimately have to be fished out of the dryer. Embrace their love for inanimate objects, and show them how to create a keepsake they’ll cherish for days with this craft by Me And My Inklings. Paint the rocks in patriotic colors, and don’t forget to add stars.
