THIRD grandkid stepping stone (pics)

17 years ago

I have been working on a grandkid walk that takes them to our big blue pot and cherry red pump fountain

Ive let each child pick an animal and their favorite marbles and other pieces as they glued them on the stepping stone. some were able to grout others needed help. I have three more grandbabies that need to get bigger and maybe I'll be blessed with even more by then!

Kyle ejoyed his special time with me.He and I share the MCS (middle child syndrome)

I have a number of book on mosaics and I am constantly checking out mosaic artwork on the internet. So when I say your GSs' stepping stones are awesome, I'm not just being nice. All three did an incredible job on their stones! I think it might take the imagination of a child to feel free enough to put together such wonderful colors, textures and designs. Tell all three that they did a fantastic job for me! (And beam like a lighthouse with pride while you're at it!)

I think this is a wonderful memory making idea. They take pride in things like this more than we know. Something they have created, and something that is purposeful. They have done a good job.

thanks for all the compli- mints. LOL
I wanted them to use things they love so we did think outside the box.The flower,flip flop and butterfly are ceramic fridge magnets.
sunnyca, yes I was finally blessed with a grandaughter ,still an infant and also another toddler boy is waiting to get bigger before Ill let him at it. And my youngest son and his daughter are expecting their first over the summer so It won't be long till I have a nice FULL path!

How wonderful! I love them all!! They've done such beautiful jobs on their masterpieces.
I got my son to make some small mosaics a few months ago (he just turned 3 last week) he did them on the MDF circles and a heart and he covered them in glass nuggets and he absolutely had a ball, he was so proud of himself. As I was looking at your pics and I remembered the fun my son had I could fully imagine how much fun your grandkids had. Good on you for sharing such a wonderful experience with them.

This is a beautiful path to memories. Not only the walk but the quality time spent with Grandma. Even when your GK turn 40 they'll say, I did that one!

What wonderful memories for you and for them. Their happy souls just shine through in their artwork. I'm sure the whole family will make many more memories in that happy place.

Wow, how wonderful. Not only do you have a great way to remember them at this age, but you have taught them so much by letting them do their own thing. Most guys think crafts is only for women. I even had a guy at work say that cats are women pets, not men pets. Weird.
