Paint a Rock





Use garden rocks and leftover house paint or other acrylics to create ladybugs, watermelon, tomatoes, or any other creatures your child would like to have in the garden.

Choose smooth rocks that are at least 2 inches in diameter, wash with plain water, then let dry before painting. An old, adult-size t-shirt will work great as a painting smock.

When the painting is completed, let the rocks dry for a day or two before placing them out in the garden. They can be used to line pathways, border a special bed, or just "dance" around the garden!
