Anyone else’s little one love playing “the floor is lava”? These DIY stepping stones are great for creating obstacle courses, playing games, and enhancing your little one’s coordination. Not only are they inexpensive and eco-friendly, but making them is so easy and fun too!
MATERIALS:
- Cork Trivet | I purchased mine from Ikea, but Amazon has some great options too!
- Non-Toxic Paint | Feel free to mix and match paints! I used a mix of ECOS paint samples, Benjamin Moore Natura (discontinued), and Ikea paint.
- Paint Brush | I used the largest brush from this Ikea paintbrush set and it worked great! I’m sure a roller would work well too.
INSTRUCTIONS:
Simply cover your workspace with newspaper, grab a paint brush and paint away! Depending on the paint you use, you’ll need 1-2 coats. Enjoy!
