Grab ‘n’ Go: Painted Rocks

A painted rock can be used to hold down papers or just for decoration.

You could also use these for a different type of SWAP.

Tools:

• Paint brushes

Materials:

• Round, flat rock
• Acrylic paint
• Acrylic sealer spray

Steps:
Rocks — Find flat, round rocks in stream beds, on beaches or grab some at your craft store.

Paint — Paint a design on the rock. This might be a picture, animal, pictograph or an abstract design. Due to the class being taught in the fall, we had a lot of yellow Minions as a result of this activity.

Seal — Spray sealer on the rock to help protect the paint.
