Painted Pet Rock

Our new pet rock.

You will need:

• A rock
• Paint
• Paintbrush

How to:
Seriously? You are actually reading the directions for this project? Well, OK, for those of you who like to have things spelled out for you...

1. Go for a walk and look for a nice size rock.
2. Pick up rock; take it home.
3. Wash off any dirt. Let dry
4. Paint rock. Let dry.

Thoughts:
Easy, easy, easy. Our rock sits on Elliott's bookshelf now, but for weeks after it was made, it went EVERYWHERE with us.

 We walked for quite a while and turned our noses up at several rocks before finding "the one". I think that was part of the reason Elliott took such ownership of his rock.

You'd be surprised at how well this project goes over with kids.
