I have a friend who collects rocks and she paints them in all kinds of flowers and animals etc. Then you can make rock zoos and planters etc. You cannot make a mistake and hers are absolutely stunning

Could always try the rock painting idea and decorate the porch or driveway or walkway with them

Paint them and do a rock garden OR paint them and hide them around your neighborhood, town, etc for others to find! Some people make a FB group for people to share when they have found one

In our community people paint and hide rocks and then when found can rehide or post you found it in a Facebook group there is !

Honestly…let them pick big rocks and write messages on them and get the kids to place them around town. That way they get the fun and craft but you don’t have to keep them lol

We had a family of pet rocks. The kids painted them and wrote their own name on the bottom. Some had painted eyes, some had googilly eyes.

If you know how to do diamond art. That is kinda cool to do.

We used to paint them and add a hashtag or local Facebook group name on the back (almost all towns have one). And once we had a lot painted, we’d spend the whole day going around parks and restaurants and malls and hide them all over (in plain sight) then we’d check on the internet to see if others found them!

How old are they?

  • Painted rocks.
    *Marbled rocks (fill container with water. Drop nail polish on top. Roll the rock along the top. Warning wear gloves!!! Otherwise hands get marbled too)
    *Rockmen (like snowmen but with rocks. Hot glue together then paint if they wish. Add features)
    *Picture frames (if they’re small rocks glue them to a wooden picture frame or thick cardboard cut out like a picture frame, we’ve done this with shells too. Paint if you prefer. If you’re using cardboard use super glue AND tape to attach a paperclip to the back for hanging)

Paint rocks with special messages on it and hide around town for people to find
