Crafty Kids | Pet Rocks Rock!

by Carla Wiking, posted on January 13th, 2014 in Arts & Crafts, Kids DIY

What is it about kids and rocks? They love them! My son will happily sort through a pile of rocks as if it’s treasure and I often find one or two in my purse. With this simple fascination in mind I figured he’d love his own set of pet rocks. These cute and totally changeable little guys couldn’t be easier to make. All you need are a few rocks, some googly eyes, chalk, and imagination!

Step One
Go on a rock hunt. Smallish, smooth rocks work best.

Step Two
Rock’s are natural chalkboards. To make writing and erasing easier prep your stones by rubbing chalk all over them and then wiping it off.

Step Three
Add eyes. Simply glue on a pair of googly eyes.

Step Four
Once the glue is dry your pet is ready for some chalk decoration. Create a face and have fun knowing that with the wipe of a cloth you can make a completely different little friend.

Happy Crafting!
