Materials
- Rocks You can gather these during walks with your kids or purchase a bag from the store
- Acrylic Paints White, Black & Various Colors
- Paint Brushes
- Googly Eyes
- Glue E6000 or Craft Glue
Instructions
- Clean your rocks to remove dust and dirt. Once your rocks are dry, paint them with various colours of acrylic paint. I found that holding the bottom of the rock worked well. I waited for the paint to dry on one end and then painted the rest. You can use a hair dryer to speed up the drying process if you wish.
- Use black paint and a small paintbrush to paint small mouth shapes onto your rock. Let the paint dry.
- Use a small brush and paint white teeth and red tongues inside your monster's mouth.
- Glue on googly eyes. If you're using a strong glue such as E6000, an adult will need to do this step. The stronger glue will hold up to the elements much better than a white school glue. If you won't be hiding your rocks, school glue would be fine.
- You could also personalize these as you’d like. Try adding bows for girl rock monsters or yarn hair. The possibilities are endless.
- Enjoy a fun day outside hiding your rocks at a park. The kids who find your rocks are going to be super excited!
