Blooma White Stone Cobbles, Large 22.5kg Bag

I bought these for Easter holiday activities with 4 grandchildren ages 6 to 8.
They spent a happy couple of hours painting and varnishing them. These stones are ideal but need washing and drying before the kids get them or the paint doesn’t stick. I would recommend them.

We bought these as they seem to have a good resistance to moss and algae - however within 6 months they have turned a yellow / brown colour. Those cobbles that are not so exposed to the sun have remained white, but those not under any cover have yelloowed on the top - so this has to be down to the sun.

I have tried everything from bleach, Oxi action powder, to white vinegar to restore them to no avail. So if you are prepared for these to 'weather' and go a yellowish brown colour they are fine, but don't expect the exposed cobbles to remain white.

When you wash these they sparkle, really lovely! We used them for children to decorate with Sharpies so the sparkles really added to the decoration!

This is the second bag I have bought & used as decoration round a black headstone which made a nice contrast to the black also used edging stones from B&Q.It has created a nice way of decoration & looks really well.Only downside is the bags are not very strong for the weight they hold & don't carry very well.

Stones bought for painting ! Summer holiday project for grandchildren! Lovely sizes for different animals !! Good price and they all enjoyed doing them
