Rocking the ABC’s

Did you see this cool Alphabet Rocks kid project over at I Am Momma Hear Me Roar? It’s from like two months ago. But that’s about how long it takes for me to get around to my craft list. : /
There is something about rocks that kids just love. Stacking them, collecting them, carrying them around…I think adding letters to them is a genius way of sneaking early literacy into the fun.
I bought my bag of rocks at the dollar store so they were a little more irregular in shape. But for a buck it’s gotten a lot of use and love already. In fact, I need to touch some of them up and add a coat of mod podge to make them more durable.
I wanted to be sure to keep all the rocks together so I whipped up a round bag for them. I just starting cutting and sewing and adding touches. It was a completely off the cuff random process that actually turned alright. I even took pictures. Love it when it happens like that. 🙂 I’ll do a tutorial next week maybe?
Hope your day is beautiful!

    I made those rocks a few weeks ago, but painting the letters on was too much for me, so I cheated and used stickers! They turned out awesome!

    This is so cool!
    One day, when I have a kid, I want him (or her) to have such toys! 🙂
