Pebble or Stone painting

A day of yet another activity for kids..My LO have this hobby of collecting these pebbles where ever we go. So we decided to decorate them with paints and thus I can engage him for yet another 1-2 hours ;)

Activity Level: Easy (Some adult help need for kids <=5 yrs)

Supplies: Pebbles/stones preferably rounded ones, acrylic colors, paint brushes (0 number and flat), water/cloth to clean your brushes, waste newspapers to use as base for coloring

No rocket science again..color your stones in vibrant color with flat brush. If required apply 2 coats.

Once the base dries, decorate as per your choice.
Here I am sharing some ideas.

You can also use poster colors or water colors if acrylic colors are not handy. But then you have to very careful not to get your decorated stones in contact of water! The one colored in blue below is done with poster colors.
