Tad simply dug a hole and filled it with concrete. We let it set a bit and then dipped our hands/feet and decorated with beads. I bought Sam turtle beads and brightly colored beads. For Sydney: pastel and flower beads. On the stone I share with my husband, he refused to have any beads around his half - men! - so I only decorated my half. *sigh* Sam had a lot of fun with this activity and Sydney did great with it too! Here is the result of our home-made handy-work:
The finished product below (more landscape work is needed but you get the idea). We thought we might do this again in 5 years or so and replace more of the lime-stones and see how much the kids have grown. We need one for the dog too of course. ;)
