Playing with stones

It's not a good idea to throw stones, or put them in your mouth, but we've got something you can do with them. It's colorful, creative and will keep you out of trouble - for at least an hour ;)

How to make your own game

If you like playing games and want to find a new one, how about making one using waste and nature. It won't take you very long, it's fun to do and you can take it with you when you go to school or to meet your friends.

In the garden we found sixteen stones
Looking for colourful new homes
Along came a boy
Who turned them into a toy
And in so doing, made the stones homes of their own

If you want to learn how to make it, click through the pictures here. You could even make it as a gift for a friend or your parents. They like to play too, even if they don't always admit it.
