Halloween Rock Painting Ideas for Kids

Materials

• Rocks
• Acrylic paint
• Paint brushes
• Cups/bowls
• Water

Optional:  Acrylic finishing spray

Method

• Begin by taking a walk to collect rocks.
• Wash and dry the rocks if desired.
• Then, use acrylic paint to decorate & embellish the rocks.

• You will want to add the base color-layer of paint to the rocks and allow it to fully dry before adding further embellishments such as faces and eyes.

• We painted some of our rocks green, some orange, and some white to make a collection of Halloween stones including ghosts, jack-o-lanterns, Frankenstein rocks, and skeletons.

Didn't they turn out so cute?  
I think the Frankenstein rocks might just be my favorite!
