Kindness Rocks

Smooth rocks and paint pens are set out with the elf's sample: a rock that says "You matter." Paint a few to leave for others to find.

Instructions

Wash and dry four to six smooth, flat rocks.
Set them on newspaper with paint pens.
Paint one sample with a bright color and a short kind word: "You matter", "Smile", "You are loved".
Put the elf beside the sample holding a paint pen.
Note: "Paint a kind word, then we'll leave them where people can find them."
Place the rocks where you're allowed, like your front walk or a friend's porch.

Tip: Let the paint dry overnight before taking the rocks outside.
