Stone Art for Kids

Stone art for kids is a simple technique and ideas on how to turn plain stone into a cool stone craft. So simple, these stone crafts can be done by your kids too. But for adults, this craft stones are also suitable. Your kids can choose the simple pattern and adults can pick the more complicated pattern.

Material you’ll need for this stone art:

Both tempera and acrylic paints work well; tempera looks chalkier but washes off easily, making it the best choice for kids. Acrylic paint has a glossy finish. Before painting, kids should sketch out their plan: It’s easier to envision what the finished project will look like if they draw it first withpencil onpaper.

How to make this stone art:

1. Glue rocks together before painting them, attaching small stone features such as eyes, feet, or beaks to body parts before joining larger parts; attach whiskers and tails after painting. Cement glue makes the strongest bond but should be used only by parents working in a well-ventilated area. (Kid-friendly glues are less durable and are best for rock crafts that will sit on shelves.)

2. Kids can design a project by arranging rocks until the figure looks right. Use little cushions of nondrying clay to support parts while the glue sets; bread clay works especially well. For example, the alligator’s hungry mouth is partly supported by his pink tongue (below left). Cut-up coffee stirrers are glued to the fellow’s underside for stability (below right) and painted gray.

Your stone art has done.
