Painted Rocks Ideas To Blow Your Mind

story rocks

I will be honest with you, I just discovered painted rocks! I have been living my life for over 30 years now and have never thought to paint a rock.

6 images of painted rocks.

Motherhood and sometimes desperation for a simple activity introduced me to my new favorite craft - painting on rocks.

8. Ice cream rock can be a great addition to a kitchen play set. (keeping in mind that kids know it's a rock and they cannot bite on it).

9. Take a look at this video of painted rocks and find some more ideas.

10. Watch this super simple painting on rocks tutorial to learn how to make qute ladybugs from rocks with your kids.

While it is supposed to be an activity for my children I start feeling that it is more an obsession for me.

On a daily basis I am tempted to grab a rock and just paint. At first I didn't know much about it (and I still don't), but the more I look at what other creative people did with them I get inspired to make some of them myself.

The amazing thing about these painted rocks is that they are not only the craft. Many times they serve as a toy, learning activity, it could be a great gift, indoor or outdoor decor and so many more.

Happy Rocking!
