Gypsystones and Other Found Art Ideas

With all the art cuts in schools, it's a wonder children get exposed to art at all. I wanted an inexpensive way to spread art throughout the land that would cost little to produce, yet have a charm all it's own. I had painted rocks since early in my life and they are virtually free depending on where you get them. I bought a bag of suitable rocks at the home improvement store down the street. At least 1/3 of the bag was useable and the rest I saved for the garden.

These are all painted with acrylic paint. Then when I take trips, I leave them laying here and there for folks to find. There is a website on the back in case people want to tell me where and how they found one. I haven't gotten any finds yet, but hope springs eternal.
