Stone Craft IdeasWith some paint and a little imagination, your party gang can turn a pocketful of stones into stone people and stony-faced creatures. Prepare the workspace for this stone craft, and have a blast! First, wipe off any sand or dirt and then study each stone to see what its shape or composition suggests. A rough, chunky rock may resemble a crouching cat, a toad, or an owl. 
Tiny, smooth pebbles can make great ladybugs or bumblebees. A flat, round stone can be used for a snail shell or a face. Long, thin ones make natural arms, legs, and tails.To make an animal, start with a larger stone as a base for the body. Then, use glue to attach smaller stones for eyes, ears, wings, antennae, and feet. For stone people, glue arms, legs, and heads to rock bodies or leave the limbs unattached for future mixing and matching. Use acrylics to highlight the facial features and paint on hair. Dress the figures any way you want - in stripes or checks, ties or dresses, tutus or Stetsons. *Source for Content & Photo: Courtesy of Family Fun Magazine Return from Stone Craft Ideas to Kids' Crafts Page Back to Kids' Birthday Party Guide Subscribe to Family Smiles |
