I turned our summer bucket list into subway art and had it printed, 20 times! Then Little J and I attached a "paint your own pet rock" kit to each one that will allow the receiver to complete one of the bucket list activities.
What You Will Need for a Pet Rock Kit
Instructions
2 Bottles of acrylic paint
2 Chenille stems
2 Chenille stems
Googly eyes
Small pom poms (optional)
To complete their project, they will also need: A rock, a paint brush, and some glue. Once they create their pet rock, they should name it and write a story about their rock.
Once Little J finished making the pet rock kits, I cut some scrapbook paper for toppers and printed the instructions on clear mailing labels.
Ok, it may be me...probably is, but scribd never seems to look right in my posts. I promise though if you want to print this file that it is correct on the Scribd site.

g-I took some of our summer bucket list and set it up in a word document. I chose 3 or 4 different fonts and colors and just started typing. I changed the font sizes depending on how it looked.
