Stepping Stones and Miss Steps



Stepping stones are definately not my gift! I made one from a kit and it fell apart. Then I had the girls make them yesterday after reading a"How To" guide on the Lowe's website. Third time is a charm, but I might retire from stepping stones.    Learn from our mistakes:

Mix a little quick dry cement and water at a time, not all at once..oops!
Make sure the kids have put ample Vaseline on the pan you are using for your form.

You need:

Quick dry cement
Cake pans or molds, make sure the cake pan sides are straight up and down.
Vaseline to grease the pans, liberally, before you pour in your cement.
Decorations..the dollar store and thrift stores have a ton of gems.

Have fun and enjoy the process and time with the kids, regardless of the outcome. Here's to yours coming out better then ours!
Cheers
