Equipment

  • paint brushes assorted sizes and tips
  • paint pens optional

Ingredients
  

  • 3 smooth river stones or rocks medium sized, flat on one side
  • multi-surface craft paint white, black, orange, brown, gray

Instructions
 

    Be sure the paint dries fully between each step of the painting process. Use either a blow dryer to speed up the process or let the paint air-dry.

How to Paint the Fox Rock

  • Paint a triangular shape for the fox face in the middle of the smooth surface of your rock using orange paint.
  • Using a fine tip brush, paint the sides of the fox face starting part way from the top to the bottom tip of the orange using the white paint.
  • With a fine tip brush, paint the ears, eyes and nose using the black paint. Add one small white dot to each eye for a highlight (this step not shown here).

How to Paint Owl Rocks

  • Paint the face shape in the middle of the rock using the gray paint. Start with two circles side-by-side and then add little ears to the top.
  • Paint two larger sized circles as shown for the owl’s eyes using white paint then add a little diamond shape underneath with orange paint for the beak.
  • Finally, paint the small circle shaped pupils using black paint. Add white dots for accents.

How to Paint the Bear Rock

  • Using brown paint create the bear’s face in the middle of the rock by first painting a large circle and then two small circles at the top for ears. Extend the large circle to form the top of the head.
  • Mix a bit of the brown and white paints together to create a light brown and use that to paint on a snout and inner ears with simple circle shapes.
  • To finish, paint the eyes and nose using black paint with a fine tip paint brush (or a paint pen). Add a small dot in the centre of each eye with white paint for a highlight.
