Everyone knows that Mom rocks, but this Mother’s Day, show her how awesome she really is with a gift of “jewels” just for her! Moms love lots of sparkle, but not every mom can get the real thing. By taking the time to turn everyday rocks into precious, glittery gems and jewels, kids can show just how much they care. In just a few steps, children will use their creativity to transform something ordinary into something fancy for a person they love.

































Find rocks! Go on a rock hunt around the neighborhood, collecting rocks of all shapes and sizes.
Paint the rocks. Use the child-safe paint to cover every inch of the rocks. Blend colors and create patterns, and don't be afraid to get a little messy. Let the paint dry completely. There's no going wrong here, since the next step is embellishing!
Create the "jewel" holders. While the "jewels" are drying, cut the water bottle about 3 inches from the bottom to create a small container for the rocks. Cut tissue paper in a square just large enough to cover it, and tie ribbon around the paper to secure it to the bottle. Layering different-colored tissue paper makes the gift more exciting, and using unique combinations of ribbon will add flair.
