A kid friendly pottery barn knock off craft

Have you seen the chalkboard rocks that Pottery Barn is selling now?

Did you see that there are 4 rocks for $16?!!!

It's ludicrus people!

So I decided to make my own chalkboard rocks...for Free and get my boys to help with it!!

The boys got to help and quite frankly they LOVED it.

I took the boys to a creek to go on a mission to find smooth rocks.

And to conquer the world one limb at a time.

Look at that nice little muddy bottom.

They took it very seriously over finding the smoothest rocks.

It wasn't until towards the end that I got smart and got them to take off their shirts.

When we got home, we then cleaned to rocks with some old toothbrushes.

Another part that they Loved to do.

Then after lunch when they were dry we primed them.

Poor guy. Next time I will need to get one of those sprayer attachments. Then again...that could be dangerous.


Romeo just pointed out where Wild Man missed a spot.

Then he balanced the top on his knee.

I sprayed the chalkboard paint, which took a while.

I kept flipping and flipping and it seemed like I always missed a spot.

So today the boys finally got to color on their rocks today.

We had a lots of fun making all sorts of things.

Luckily I already had the spray paint on hand, but if I didn't I know that it would cost less then $10 for about 20 rocks.

Now you try it.
