LAVA ROCKS!!!!

It's 7:30AM on a rainy day...what are you doing?  Well WE are creating lava rocks!!  This was such a fun project to do with the boys.  Yesterday was sunny, so we found rocks in the yard and gave them bubble baths.  After letting them dry, we brought them inside to save for today's rainy day forecast.

We pre-heated the oven to 350 degrees...

Then popped them inside on a foil lined cookie sheet for 15 minutes...

Then carefully placed each on tin foil and used our crayons to "paint" them.  It is soooo cool.  The wax melts and dribbles...you can play with different techniques or blend your colors.

The rocks cool in about 10 minutes, so you have to move fast.  But we loved this activity...  Definitely one we'll be repeating soon.  Maybe with beach rocks!!
