We've just embarked on an mission to tart up our garden for the summer. It's a mission with a strict and small budget. I wanted something that the kids could contribute beyond throwing soil around, so we came up with the plan to let them make their own stepping stones.

When they were dry the kids went at them with cheap kiddy paint that we had about the house anyway and I varnished the painted stones for a bit of extra durability and plonked them in the garden as a little path for them to hop about on.
A few days later we did some more with cement rather than concrete so they could make hand prints in a few. I'll post pics of those up when they are finished.
