🎨💖 Looking for a fun activity with the kids?
The Aughnacloy Kindness Rocks Trail is a wonderful way to get creative, explore the village and spread kindness one rock at a time! 🪨🌈
Paint it. Hide it. Find it. Re-hide it.
See the poster below to join in! ✨

Let's fill Aughnacloy with colour, kindness and a few happy surprises!

We're inviting children, families, community groups and residents of all ages to take part in the Aughnacloy Kindness Rocks Trail.

It's simple:

🖌️ Paint a rock
📍 Hide it somewhere in Aughnacloy
😊 Brighten someone's day when they discover it

Get creative with themes such as:

🌸 Flowers
🐝 Wildlife
❤️ Positive messages
🏛️ Aughnacloy landmarks
🎨 Or anything that makes people smile!

When you find a rock, take a photo, share it on social media and then re-hide it for someone else to discover.

📸 Don't forget to tag Aughnacloy Development Association and Aughnacloy in Bloom in your photos so we can share your creations and see how far the trail spreads across the village.

This is all about community spirit, creativity and kindness – there are no competitions, no winners and no losers. Just a fun way to bring people together and brighten our village.

Posters will be available through local schools and businesses, so keep an eye out and get involved!

Let's see how many kindness rocks we can spread throughout Aughnacloy! ❤️
