PEBBLE AND ROCK PAINTINGS FOR KIDS

Posted by admin on Sep 3, 2019 in Arts | Comments Off on PEBBLE AND ROCK PAINTINGS FOR KIDS

Painting is an art which requires skill and creativity. Although your kid might not become a Leonardo Da Vinci overnight, painting is a skill which can be developed. Since young minds are ever enthralled by new things, this art can bring a sense of fulfilment to them. Who knows, you might just be stimulating the right neurons in the brain of the next Michelangelo. Have you ever noticed how kids pay rapt attention when they have to paint something? There is this out-of-the-world feeling they almost always have. With their smile from ear to ear, they are always super eager to show their handy-work to whoever is willing to see.

Pebble and rock painting is one of the most interesting activities kids can get themselves involved in. It is an art which stimulates creativity. With a few affordable materials, you and your kids are ready for both indoor and outdoor painting activities! The following materials are needed to get it done: some paintbrushes –  both large and small, an assortment of acrylic paint of various colors, a waterproof sealer if the rocks are to be kept outside, some smooth and light rocks, a wooden box without a roof to keep the stones and a colorful piece of mat or carpet to underlie the box.

Pebbles and rocks can be handpicked by you and your kids making the outdoor experience a worthy recreational activity! To climax the fun, you can hunt for pebbles on the beaches of various oceans, seas, lakes and ponds, and search for rocks in the field. Be sure your kids will bring stones of various shapes and sizes as their little hands will allow. If you don’t have much time for this outdoor option, you can simply buy some pebbles and rocks at the craft store. These ones are already smooth and light enough for use.

The next step is to thoroughly wash the rocks, clean and dry them to remove any residual dust and sand which might give the art work an awkward curve. The completely dried pebbles and rocks can now be painted with different kinds of colors using the brush. The first layer of paint usually serves as a background color to the pebble or rock. After the background color is dry and set, other paintings can be done. With enough guidance, your child could paint different emoji, flowers, spirals and who knows, maybe the next Mona Lisa on a pebble canvas.

When drying or after drying the rocks outside it must be sealed with a water proof sealer to prevent washing away of the paintings. The rocks are gathered, gorgeously and systematically arranged in the box which has been covered with a colorful carpet as well. In addition, scribbling can be done with the paint brush on a card board to label your box.
