The story · 2018

The story of Hide-a-Smile Rocks

Painted happy rocks started appearing in parks, library gardens and coffee shop planters everywhere. This set came with smooth stones, paint pens and a sealer spray. Kids painted ladybugs, rainbows and messages like 'You rock!' then hid them for strangers to find. Finding one felt like a high five from the universe.

Fun fact

Some rocks traveled across three states as finders re-hid them and shared where they went next.
