Painted Pet Rock


Our new pet rock.

You will need:
  • A rock
  • Paint
  • Paintbrush
How to:
Seriously? You are actually reading the directions for this project? Well, OK, for those of you who like to have things spelled out for you...

  1. Go for a walk and look for a nice size rock.
  2. Pick up rock; take it home.
  3. Wash off any dirt. Let dry
  4. Paint rock. Let dry.
Thoughts:
Easy, easy, easy. Our rock sits on Elliott's bookshelf now, but for weeks after it was made, it went EVERYWHERE with us.

 We walked for quite a while and turned our noses up at several rocks before finding "the one". I think that was part of the reason Elliott took such ownership of his rock.

You'd be surprised at how well this project goes over with kids.
