Have you heard of the kindness rocks project? People are painting rocks, placing them around their cities and towns, and others are finding these small tokens of encouragement and sharing them on social media {with the hashtag #MAKEkindnessrocks}. So simple, right? But finding a little ray of sunshine on a hard day can sometimes be a game changer. My younger kids and I decided to take part but we gave our rocks a twist and made glow in the dark kindness rocks! We’re hoping the painted pictures will draw people in the day and the glowing light will draw them by night!
To make your own glow in the dark kindness rocks, you’ll need to start with a variety of rocks {we dug ours out of our backyard garden and washed them to get rid of any dirt}, craft paint in a variety of colors, and paint brushes. You can also decorate them with paint pens or sharpies.
Use brushes in varying sizes to paint designs or create encouraging messages on the rocks and allow them to dry completely then spray the rocks with glow in the dark spray paint. Be sure the rocks dry fully …
… then hide them in fun spots around your neighborhood or city. They’ll soak up the sun during the day and glow in the night.
A smiling emoji peeping out of a rock garden will brighten anyone’s day, won’t it? You can follow the hashtag to see who finds your kindness rocks …
… and hope that they add a little smile to a stranger’s day!
Have you found any kindness rocks in your city?
For another fun way to decorate rocks, be sure to check out this idea for crayon covered swirly stones, a project the kids will love making!
These are great and the glow in the dark is so smart! I’ve only recently heard of kindness rocks and I first heard about it on our local news saying they were being found everywhere. Then, one showed up at my job! Thanks for sharing with us at Funtastic Friday! Pinned 🙂
That’s such a great idea! I love that you used the glow in the dark paint! That makes it so much fun. Aaaannnndddd it’s perfect for Halloween!
What an awesome project! I love rock painting, but never would have thought to make them glow in the dark! Brilliant!
We are surrounded by rocks where I live so this would be a fun project to do. Maybe we can paint a couple and put them on our walkway in the front for Halloween.
I love the painted rocks that have been showing up here and there. Your idea to paint them glow-in-the-dark is really fun!
I love the idea of painting rocks and finding them in and around your town. It is the kind of thing to bring a neighborhood or city together.
My kids are obsessed with kindness rocks! We have a local Facebook group that is all about creating and sharing rocks! I love the idea of making them glow-in-the-dark! We may need to make this one of our spring break projects!
I love that they’re glow in the dark. My daughter did this with her Girl Scouts troop. They had a lot of fun painting them too.
WHAt a lovely idea!! I adore thee kindness rocks. I would love to make he’d with my cousins. 🙂
The kids and I love making these. I’ve never thought to do go in the dark though!
I’ve always thought kindness rocks were such a wonderful idea. I have yet to try it with the kids though.
I love this kindness project. These are so unique and perfect for the times we’re in.
We picked up some rocks to paint last weekend. I am excited to paint them with the kids this weekend. We plan on hiding them around town.
Such an awesome project! I haven’t heard of it but it’s the perfect craft for me to do with my grandkids. I love the glow in the dark idea too!
I have heard of people finding rocks like these at the park and trails. My kids need to get in on this fun.
Those rocks can also be decorations in the house or in the garden! And would be very useful this Halloween!
These are really cute ideas! They would be great for in the garden to sort of illuminate the plants. CUTE!
