My Kids And I Spent A Year Painting Over 1,000 Rocks And Hid Them For People To Spot And Photograph

I love this idea, even without the attached art project/exhibit, I think it could make people smile to find something colorful like this where they don't expect it :)

The world needs more smiles, keep up your happy work guys x

Wow ! This is great !

I love this project! I love rocks, which is one reason, but this wonderful family activity is providing happiness and joy not only to the seven creators, but to everyone who sees them, either en masse or one rock at a time. Bravo and Brava to all! This post kept me smiling all the way.

Brilliant! Maybe I'll try doing this with my kids, they love painting and they love collecting small stones, rocks, minerals, so it sound like exactly for them :-)

These are so beautifully and creatively painted! I particularly love the large blue grinning one in the last photo. It somewhat reminds me of the Cheshire Cat :D

I loved this idea but why are they in pairs

That's so awesome!!!!!!

What an awesome thing to do. I love everything abut this!!!!

Oh, neat! I saw the ones displayed yesterday; I'll have to tell my friend that lives in Grand Rapids to look around for the hidden ones!

What a fabulous idea, every town should do this and all the schools should get involved. I know that the children in my Daycare will be painting rocks this Autumn:~)

I love your idea. It's very cool!

Such a truly WONDERFUL idea!! As a parent with 3 of my own children & 2 of my fiance's, (soon to be my own as well!!) ranging in age from almost 17 years old down to 5 years old, it's tough coming up with ideas that everyone will enjoy TOGETHER... I've GOTTA say tho, what a GREAT idea for EVERYONE!! Doesn't even have to be on a huge scale, yet I see it being fun for ALL of us. 😊

Great idea!

Kudos!! This is fantastic and I really want to try something like this on a much smaller scale where I live :)

Greate greate greate idea!!!!!!

Great

So lovely. I wish I could find one

I love this so much! I wish you lived in our community!

Great idea. Did a lot of people take them or just smile and walk by?

How cute! The people who spotted them are so lucky. Bring them home!

Cute. I found a couple of painted rocks like this on the rail trail in my area. Unrelated, but same idea, I assume.

Cool! 10 years ago I found blue rocks in Crested Butte, Colorado that a local had painted blue and hide around town for people to find....I still have the rocks I found in a wood bowl on my coffee table😊

Love the idea! But not sure those are the work of children, they seem too neat and each so different. Maybe Dad did more than the video implies.

If I saw one of these it would accidentally fall into my pocket!
