Rock Paper Holders
Posted on: May 20, 2009
(Did I mention we picked up a lot of rocks on our nature walk? We decided to make some paper weights. We made some a few months ago for their grandparents. We glued on some of those half-marbles. This time Sean decided on shells from a shell lei. This is an easy project for 12 month old on up.)
Things you need:
- Rocks
- Smock
- Paint or markers
- Glue
- Glitter (optional)
- Shells, buttons, plastic gems, beads, whatever you like to add
Go on a rock hunt with the kids. Wash and dry the rocks. Have the child decorate the rock.

Pet Rocks
Posted on: May 19, 2009
(There’s nothing like a pet, especially a pet rock. We have a great time looking for rocks. Then we wash them, dry them, and decorate them. The boys love rock hunting. They enjoy the painting too. This is a fun, easy project. And you can do it over and over because you can make all kinds of pets.)
Things you need:
- Smock
- Rocks
- Paint (or markers)
- Glue
- Googly eyes
- Random other stuff like buttons, plastic gems, shells, whatever you want to add (optional)
Find some rocks with the kids. Have the child wash the rock. Allow the rock to dry. Have the child paint the rock (or color it).

- Sean’s Rock

- Evan’s tiger rock and my rock (not pictured: Sean’s rock, which was in his hands)
Allow the rock to dry. You can have the child decorate the rock with markers. (Evan made a tiger rock. I messed around.) Glue on eyes.
If you want to make you pet rock more unique, glue on other fun stuff.
