Lenexa Kindness Rocks

November 14, 2020 by mlang Leave a Comment

A game of hide and seek is taking place all over Lenexa, Kansas.  Painted rocks, also known as Kindness Rocks, are hidden outdoors in public places throughout Lenexa.  The fun was officially started in 2016 when a group started painting the rocks to share their art and spread some joy.  Children and adults alike enjoy finding these beautiful rocks.  A kind word, inspirational message, or even a colorful painting can all make a positive impact on someone’s day.
 
Want to get in on the fun?  Take a walk in Lenexa, (the parks are a great place to start) and keep your eyes out for any painted rocks.  If you find one, take a picture and share on the Lenexa Rocks Facebook page to share that you’ve found it.  Then re-hide the rock to keep the fun going for others.  It’s okay to take a rock home if it’s touched your heart.  Replace it with a rock you’ve painted to continue spreading the joy for others.  

Here are some tips for making your own Kindness Rocks.  Many rock painters use acrylic paints and paint markers.  Paint markers are great for fine details and acrylic paints are nice for covering larger areas.  You can find these items at craft stores or on Amazon.com.  After your painting has dried, spray both sides (let each side dry first) with a sealer to protect the paint from the outdoors.  Once they’re dry, they’re ready to hide!  Place in a public place, avoiding grassy areas that are mowed.  Take a picture of the rock and post a clue to the Facebook group for others to find it.

Looking for inspiration on what to paint?  Try our Pinterest board to find fun ideas.

Other cities such as Overland Park and Shawnee, KS also have their own rock painting Facebook groups.  It’s a trend that’s catching on around the country, so even if you’re not from Lenexa, search Facebook and see if your city has its own rock group!
