5. Handprint “Clay” Garden Stepping Stone

This is a wonderful long-term keepsake. Using a bag of quick-set concrete or heavy air-dry clay, you can capture a child’s handprint to mark their place in the garden.

  • Materials: Stepping stone kit (or concrete mix), a foil pie tin, glass gems or pebbles.
  • Steps:
    • Pour the wet concrete into the pie tin.
    • Wait for it to become “firm-ish” and press the child’s hand into the center.
    • Let the child press colorful gems around the edges.
