What you'll need

  • Pebbles (smooth, flat)
  • Acrylic paint
  • Lolly sticks
  • PVA glue
  • Small photograph
  • Card for coupon book

How to do it

  1. PEBBLE PAPERWEIGHT: clean and dry a smooth stone. Paint white as base coat. When dry, add a design: a face, geometric pattern, sports ball. Varnish.
  2. LOLLY STICK PHOTO FRAME: arrange 4 lolly sticks in a square. Glue the joints. Add a second layer for depth. Paint or decorate. Attach a photo with glue. Add a magnetic strip to the back.
  3. COUPON BOOK: fold and staple 5 pieces of card. Each 'coupon' offers something: a hug, helping tidy, choosing the film. Decorate the cover.
💡 Tips Same sensitivity as Mother's Day — 'for the special adult who takes care of you'. The coupon book works at all ages and requires minimal materials.
