Here are the easy steps to make stepping stones:
* Construct 13" square wood frames out of 2x4 pieces of scrap wood.
* Purchase concrete mix (ask at you local hardware store about the different types of concrete that will work for this project), mix it according to directions and pour it into the frames. The frames should be laid on a flat surface with plastic under the frames.
* Here's the creative part. Draw designs into the concrete. Think back when you were a child, or have your child help you. Make hand prints, flowers, vines, rainbows, write words like "Jamee's garden," "Welcome," "I luv gardening," etc. into the stones.
* Remove the frame and allow the concrete to dry overnight.
* Set the stones into the garden.
