Zuzana | 1204 comments Stress Relief - Rocky 1/3

Pet Rock: Rock must be full trained to pet status.
• Give 5 nuts to your rock for company. - Orb of Air > 4 nuts
• Read a book with a silver or grey cover to use to paint your nuts the color of the rock (this will totally work because the phrase is "dumb as a box of rocks" for a reason).
• Read a book with a character that is a painter so you can learn the skill.
• A book with a box on the cover to give the "rocks" somewhere to play.
