This evenings activity for the 30 Days Wild Challenge was to sit in the garden with my youngest daughter and make some Pebble Bugs together. I went first to show her how its done, impressing her with my painting skills. After showing her the technique she then had a go at making one of her own.
Start with a pebble
Paint the head black and the body
a colour of your choice and add some spots
Next add some eyes and a smile

Over to you then

at the side of the pond
Not a bad effort
After making some Pebble Bugs we planted some Sunflower seeds. A bit late planting, but I was saving this activity until the end just in case I got stuck for ideas.
Our chosen pots
Some drainage at the bottom
Plantpot added with compost

A little more compost on the top
Position in the sun and water
This is so sweet! What sort of paints did you use?

Deletewonderful 30 days of wild photographs! just catching up on your previous posts, im only 14 days in but enjoying getting out there with my daughter (8yrs). It hasnt been a hard task though my fav' place is by the beach or woodlands. When i was a little girl (just about remember now hehe!!) we used to paint shells and stones just like that! ;)
