Handprint Stepping Stone

My daughter made this one year during summer camp. It is a fun and easy project that will be a great memento of your child's youth!


All you have to do is:

1. Mix cement with water in a large pail and follow instructions on cement packaging. Once cement is mixed very well pour into a pie tin.

2. Smooth the top of the cement and let it set. On average let it sit for about an hour. When you are able to make a handprint without it disappearing it is ready to decorate.

3. Have child spread out fingers and firmly press into the cement. Once hand print is done decorate it with objects of personal choice; stones, shell, jems, etc… Child could also write something in the cement.

4. Allow Stepping Stone to dry for many days. One week should be enough time. Optional – Paint handprint and writing if there is writing.
