Today, we decided to try Halloween rock painting. Read on to see what ideas we came up with and the materials used.


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!
