Most kits include what you need to create and decorate a stone, but contents can vary by set. You’ll typically find:

• Mold: The shape or tray you pour into.
• Mixing material: Cement or plaster powder.
• Tools: A stir stick and sometimes a mixing liner.
• Paints and brush: For decorating once it’s dry.
• Decor: Items like gems or mosaic pieces (varies by kit).
• Instructions: Step-by-step guidance.

You may need a few household items (water, disposable cup, protective table cover). For the most accurate list, check the “What’s included” section on each Walmart product page.

It depends on your goals and how many stones you plan to make. DIY kits bundle materials and offer customization, which can be cost-effective for creative projects or multiple stones—especially if the mold is reusable. Ready-made stones save time and may suit you if you want immediate, consistent results.

• Kit contents: Amount of mix, decor, and paint included.
• Mold type: Single-use vs. reusable.
• Extras on hand: If you already have sealer or tools.
• Time value: Consider the crafting experience you’re after.

Review product descriptions and choose the approach that fits your budget, timeline, and creativity.

You can shop a wide range of stepping stone kits at Walmart online and in many stores. For convenience, you can:

• Order online for home delivery.
• Choose curbside pickup where available.
• Check in-store availability by selecting your store on the product page.

Use filters to narrow by theme (animals, flowers, fantasy), kit type (mix & mold or paint-your-own), and age range. Availability can vary by location, so it’s helpful to confirm stock before you head out.

Many craft stones are decorative and work best in low-traffic areas. If you’d like to set them on soil, these tips can help:

1. Pick a level spot: Choose a flat, low-traffic area to reduce wobble.
2. Prep the ground: Remove loose debris and lightly compact the soil.
3. Leveling layer: An optional thin layer of sand can help with leveling.
4. Set flush: Place the stone so it’s even with the surrounding ground to reduce tripping.
5. Monitor: After rain, adjust if settling occurs.

For frequent foot traffic, a more prepared base may offer added stability. Always review the kit’s instructions for outdoor suitability.

Longevity outdoors varies with materials and climate, but a few steps can help:

• Let it cure: Allow the stone to harden fully before painting or placing.
• Use the right paint: Apply the kit’s paints as directed; consider a clear, weather-resistant sealer if the packaging allows.
• Choose the spot: Place in shaded or low-traffic areas to reduce wear.
• Seasonal care: In harsh weather or freeze–thaw cycles, bringing stones indoors can help.
• Gentle cleaning: Wipe with a soft brush; avoid harsh chemicals.

Always follow your kit’s instructions for sealing and outdoor display.
