Crafting with rocks is one of our favorite things to do with the kids. We love to paint rainbows on them! We’ve also made rock dolls, puzzles, alphabet letters and more to keep the kids busy painting, playing, and creating.
Lately, it seems rocks are making a comeback on the craft circuit which we love seeing! We’re blown away but the creative ideas we’ve seen featuring rocks and simple art supplies like paints and markers.
