Hi Stacey & JD, Thanks for the comment! Check out the Natural Earth Paint Kit from Bella Luna Toys: https://www.bellalunatoys.com/products/natural-earth-paint-kit
I think this is a wonderful idea! And I’m sure my 5 and 3 yr. old nieces would have a wonderful time doing this, but I have no idea what paints are safe for the girls to use AND will stay on the rocks without washing away in the weather. Can you please make some suggestions for safe and lasting paints? Thank you.
