Creative outlets for all ages!
Looking for something fun to do that will brighten someone's day? Painting rocks is a great way to do it. Below are example pictures of what some others have painted.
Finding a Rock
The best rocks to paint are those with flat surfaces. Trying to paint a bumpy rock often ends with parts not being covered because the paint can't reach it. You should look for a medium sized rock in most cases. Large rocks take a while to paint and small rocks have little space for design.
Painting Your Rock
This is the step to really let your creativity shine. Acrylic paint will work well for this activity. If you're looking for inspiration, try looking to nature and painting what you see.
If you would like to make sure your painted rock stays painted and doesn't chip, sealant is recommended.
Share
After you are done painting your rock(s), you are welcome to keep it. Of course, you could always share it instead. If you make a few rocks, you can put them around your neighborhood and parks for others to find. Who knows, maybe you will find someone else's rocks in the process!
