Paint a stone animal

Connecting to nature can restore our sense of wellbeing. For children, this connection is best made through play – whether outdoors in nature or indoors with natural elements. 

This Paint a stone animal activity from Fields in Trust can be done at school or at home with stones you collect from your school grounds or garden. Why not use them to decorate a nature-themed den? Or display them in class as part of an investigation into the animals you have created?
