Your kids will love this creative summer craft!
Start keeping an eye out for rocks of all shapes and sizes, watching for flat, smooth stones. Look for rocks that can be turned into animals, flowers, dragons or fairies. Clean the stones in warm, soapy water and let dry. Use a pencil to sketch out your design on the surface of the rock. It can be an animal, insect, flower or anything else that you desire. To make this craft easier for young kids, use black paint or marker to create an outline of the design.
Then, once it’s dry, they can fill in the outlined areas. Arrange an assortment of water tempera paints and paint brushes and have fun painting. Wiggly eyes, buttons and other embellishments can be added to your design. Use the creations throughout your garden or household plants.
