Part of the fun with this '70s-inspired craft is hunting for the perfect rocks to decorate, making it a fitting project for after a nature hike or during a birthday party.
| Prep Time: Under 1 hour | |
| What you need: | |
| Rocks and pebbles
Glue (hot glue lasts longest, but white glue and glue sticks work well and are easier with a crowd of kids) Googly eyes and pom-poms Fun fur Scissors Acrylic paints and paintbrushes | |
| Seasons: Summer, Year round | |
| Materials: nature objects, paints | |
| Instructions: | |
| 1. | Set out the rocks and decorating supplies on a big table. |
| 2. | Look for natural features in the rocks that resemble noses, chins, ears, and so on. |
| 3. | Stick pebbles, googly eyes, and pom-poms in place with the glue. Kids can also use fun fur for hair, mustaches, and beards or apply additional features with acrylic paint. |

Try making Pet Shells, an easy adaptation of the basic
design and a good way to get rid of all those shells from last
summer?s beach vacation.
