Crazy Rock Monsters - Arts, Crafts and DIY

Use you child's rock collection and Curiousity of Monsters to make fun crazy ROCK MONSTERS!

Material

Various Shaped Rocks
Bright coloured Acrylic Paint
Googly Eyes
Foam pieces
Pom Poms
PVA glue

Method

Find some rocks, usually children already have a collection of themes (mine certainly do)
Paint each rock in fun bright colours.
Once the paint is dry, glue on eyes (1,2, 3 or more) and add some mouth details with red foam and white for the teeth. (though you could just use a permanent marker to draw on mouth).
Lastly pop a pom pom or two on top for fun hair. (note- I used a rubber band to keep pom poms in place while they were drying)

Notes

These are fun and we ended up making heaps of them. PLEASE note that the Pom Poms with not easily stay in place so I used a rubber band to keep them where I wanted them until they were dry.

My daughter had a pet rock for years growing up. It sat on her bedside table. Clever little items to make and possibly sell at a local market for some pocket money

I’m embarrassed to say that I well remember (and still have) a pet rock that was my goodluck charm when I was a child. I’ve never been game enough to throw it away, but I wasn’t clever or creative enough to have made it myself.

Now your Rock Monsters are so much better than those boring little stone pets with only a pair of eyes – what a great project for the kiddos.
