Ever gone hiking with a three year old? It’s all about the rocks! And guess who gets to carry them home?
(me)
We have rocks – from really basic, gravel rocks to crystal beauties. My kids love their rocks.
But, is a painted rock even better? Imagine a rainbow rock! It’s colorful, abstract, and requires virtually no adult help.
Maybe pet rocks will come back into style. Carry your rock to school – to the grocery store – to the library – home – everywhere. Hypo-allergenic and a great listener. (If it only cooked, it would be the perfect husband!)
Fun. Easy. Beautiful. All you need are rocks, paint, and brushes. Oh, and a little imagination.

Something we did to help the paint (and googly eyeballs) stay on the rocks is painting on a couple coats of Modge Podge. Then the rock had this nice shiny look and the eyes stayed in place. Pet rocks are fun!
