One fun activity we did was to make a ladybug and bumble bee tic tac toe game.
Thanks to the Spencinator who's always bringing home rocks, we have a nice rock collection in one of our front flower beds. I just looked there to find 10 smooth oval rocks. Below is a sampling of what we used.
From there it was painting time. I let Sweetie Pie do it all. She loves to paint and had a great time doing this project. Since the Babes wanted to help too, we let her paint her own rocks.
5 rocks were painted yellow and the other 5 red.
Then she used black to embellish them to look like bumble bees and ladybugs. She also used white to add eyes to the ladybugs.
I thought about getting a stepping stone or stump to create the tic tac toe board but haven't done that yet, so we just made a board out of chalk.
Of course, I didn't think of this idea on my own. Thanks to Pinterest, I was able to find several versions including THIS one.
