This weeks challenge was a group event with both our families. We had a lot of fun doing this together. Clucky used a stepping stone kit she found on clearance for $10 to make circle stepping stones. It had enough supplies to make four stones. We also made foot print stones. These are so cute for the garden or walk and are a nice summer memory of the size of your child's foot.
To make a foot print stone you need:
Disposable pie plate or 9x13 pan
Play Sand
Plaster of Paris
Place slightly dampened sand in desired container. Have your child press their foot into the sand, tamp down the sand around the foot. Lift foot out and you now have the mold to pour in plaster of paris.
Mix plaster of paris according to directions on packaging. The mix should be the consistency of softened icecream. Let dry, preferably overnight. Remove from pan and brush off sand. You could paint them or leave them as they are. Arrange in your garden, walk or use as a gift.

Clucky here, Just have to say how hillarious it is to try and get a 16 month olds footprint in the sand for a mold. She kept curling her toes. Her foot stone is going to look more like an amoeba than a foot. LOL
