When my daughter was a young un’, she adored cardboard boxes of all shapes and sizes and used to turn them into pirate caves and princess castles. I,on the other hand, was all about finding little nooks and crannies in our garden, declaring them “fairy gardens” and then decorating them with mosses and stones and bits and pieces from my bedroom – so that the fairies had somewhere nice to dance at night

Hi Megan -

Shelly seems to be the perfect little rock friend! Thanks for showing us your process and for linking. Your site is just beautiful and inspiring. I wish Shelly could come over and play with our mouse stones in real life and not just virtually.

@Donna S, We had a remarkably fun time painting Shelly! And honestly, it's one of those things I probably would not have come up with on my own - especially since I already had a totally different project in mind. We'll still try to do the story stones one of these days, but she has had some much fun embellishing and playing with Shelly - I'm happy to just let it be for now. So glad this sparked a good idea for you and your little one. have fun creating!! Megan’s last blog post..postponed

@trixi, you know, my toddler adores playing the utensils from the kitchen utensil crock. I swear she prefers that over any of the toys in her room! Megan’s last blog post..postponed

@wesleyjeanne, what an absolutely moving story. I so passionately believe that when adults take the time to meet children in the world of play, the impact on their little lives is huge. Thanks for sharing such beautiful testimony to that. Megan’s last blog post..postponed

I'm so glad I read this. My 2 1/2 year old just picked up a rock outside and has been so happy with her new friend "rocko" (She must have gotten this from Sesame St.) Painting rocks would be heaps of fun. We'll have to plan to do this soon! Donna S’s last blog post..Help For the Helpless Homemaker
