Painted rocks make an excellent gift for kids during the up and coming holiday season.  Great  to give to a relative or special someone.  We painted some rocks we picked up on our vacation this summer to give to my inlaws for there anniversary. It was very special because the kids painted the themes of the vacation.

This is a great idea for your kids to do for a holiday gift .

what will you need :

• Rocks
• Acrylic paint (permanent kind) found at hobby stores AcMoore or Micheal’s- I bought the primary paints (red, yellow, blue, – white , black)
• Paint brushes
• Plastic plates or old lids  for paints , cups for water
• Paper towels
• Clear gloss spray
• old clothes or smock
• Newspaper of some thing to protect table

You might want to paint rocks white before you start so that the true colors of the paints come out.

My kids mixed there colors but I put the paint on the plates.. a little goes a long way.once dry the adult clear coats the rocks with spray so they will not chip over time.

Enjoy I painted one too.

Let you little Picasso come out.   Rocks are fun to find and fun to paint and better to give.  A  little natural canvas for kids.

enjoy..Have a handmade holiday
