Go for a walk with someone and find a rock! By hiking trails, rivers banks and lake sides you can find many good rocks.

Materials:

  • A rock- A flat rock, round rock, small rock, or any rock will do!
  • Acrylic paint in various colours (this is washable on hands but not clothing)
  • Paint brushes in a variety of sizes
  • An old lid or paint palate to put the pain on
  • A cup or bowl to put water in
  • Some newspaper or painting sheets to put under your rock
  • A sharpie marker

Steps:

  1. Find a rock
  2. Find all your materials
  3. Write your name and the year in sharpie marker on a part of the rock you are not painting
  4. Paint your rock however you want
  5. Let dry at least one hour
  6. Optional: Go to your local hardware store and get a sealer paint to put on your rock then put your rock outside. Rocks that are not sealed can be put outside but the weather can fade and peel your painted rock.
