The reclaimed river rocks that we have buckets of here at The Resource Exchange could be used in a variety of creative ways, from home & garden projects, to arts & crafts, to educational activities. Local Art Therapist, Julie, even used them in one of her support groups recently for an inspiring activity.

Julie said, “I am an art therapist and I recently used the rocks with support group members in creating ‘self-compassion stones.’ Group members were asked to write or draw a word, phrase, or symbol that might help them get through a difficult time. These stones could be carried in a pocket, placed in a drawer, or put in a place where you might see it every day.”

What a great and uplifting reuse! Want to make your own ‘Self Compassion Stones?’ we still have tons of river rocks here at the store, for just $1/ pound!
