Painted Rocks
An Imagination Station Activity from KinderArt
Age: Any
Time: 15 minutes
Type of Activity: Art
Materials needed:
Dreary days getting you down? Why not pick up a few rocks and create some fun!
What to do
Ready, set, go and clean all the dirty bits off of your rocks and let them dry. Now decide what you are going to create (a picture, an animal, a funky paper weight) It's all up to you! Super, now begin painting your rock with the designs and colors of your choice. If you like, you can draw some lovely pictures using magic markers instead of paint. Great! When you are all finished decorating and the paint is completely dry, it's time to seal the rock. Do this by mixing some white glue with a little bit of water. Excellent, now brush some of the water/glue mixture onto your rock to seal in the beauty. That's it, you are finished and you can move on to the next one!
Facts
When you search for rocks, you'll find no two are alike. It's a rewarding and inexpensive way to preserve the pictures in your mind. All you need to buy are a few paintbrushes and some poster or acrylic paints. The rock canvas is out there, free for the taking.
Now you know.
