There are times, especially in the summer, when you can’t spend all day in your crafting space. Times when you need a project that can go anywhere with very little muss and fuss. Times when you having something fun and creative to occupy the kids saves the day. Rock Pets are made for these times. Made from the stones you find of the ground and a few permanent markers, they can be crafted just about anywhere and are super popular with the kids in my neighborhood, so I bet they will be with yours too!

Things you’ll need:
Permanent Markers, assorted colors
Smooth pebbles and stones

Things to do:
1. Brush off any dirt or debris that may be clinging to your rocks.

2. Imagine what animal might be hidden in that rock. Start with the face and eyes and work your way down. Add details like spines and feathers, get creative
3. If desired, seal with polyurethane.
