Hi all! I am headed to the family cottage in western PA next weekend. My great niece & nephew will be there too, ages 5 & 7. After reading through this forum, I thought making "ladybug" stones would be a great project, especially if the weather is crummy. The Allegheny River has an endless supply of rocks and stones to choose from.

Now I just need to find out how to get started. I have read the "turtle" project, which I think would be a little 'too' artistic for me & the kids yet, but ladybugs seem simpler... don't they? I did learn to wash & clean the rocks first, and let them dry well. But then, do I paint the entire rock red? then what? What is everyone's favorite sealer, since they will probably be outside bugs

Any help would surely be appreciated, Thanks all! ~Jan
