We paint rocks often and happened to have a bag of craft rocks on hand.  You can just as easily collect rocks from outside.  If you would like to use craft rocks and don't have them the ones we used for this activity can be purchased on Amazon here.

  • Begin by taking a walk to collect rocks.  Wash and dry the rocks if desired.  You can also start with crafting rocks.

  • Use acrylic paint to decorate & embellish the rocks.

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

MAKING SPOOKY STONES

  • Once the base layer of paint is dry kids can transform the rocks into spooky stones!
