2. Draw numbers and signs with markers.

To do this craft with the kids, you can draw the numbers first with a pencil. This way they can be guided when it comes to painting them and it will be easier for them.

If you want (because you do not have markers), you can do this craft with acrylic paints. Remember to draw them first with a pencil or marker.

If you want to profile the stone, it will depend on the color of the stones of your choice. If the stone is dark it outlines with white, and if it is clear it outlines with a black marker. We painted them all in white so that Marcos could color the stones better.
