Pet Rocks

Pet Rocks

Materials:

  • Large, smooth rocks
  • Acrylic Paint
  • Paint brush
  • Googly eyes
  • Feathers
  • Craft Glue
  • Q-tips
  • Newspaper
  • Waxed paper

 

Steps:

First, choose a rock; either from outside, or you can buy nice smooth rocks at a craft store.

 

Next choose a color of acrylic paint to use as a “base” color for your rock. Let it dry. To make a creature out of the rock, add spots, stripes or other paint details next. Let dry.

      

Finally, glue on goggly eyes, feathers, or other items with craft glue. If you glued items on the back like arms or feet, dry on waxed paper to avoid sticking. For fine lines and dots, practice on newspaper first. Be sure to let paint dry fully before adding sequins and other items.

 

Now that you have finished, can you answer these questions about your pet rock?

     What is your pet's name?

     What is your pet's favorite color?

     What does your pet like to do?

     What is your pet's favorite food?
