Painting Rocks

[DaycareMama]

When painting river rocks do you use just acrylic paint? Also do you seal the rock with anything after painting it?

thanks

And free craft my father-n-law has a back yard full of rocks.

I don't have an answer for you sorry...but I will google and see what comes up.

along that same vein...has anyone made concrete stepping stones with their d/c kids?

My mom does this with her grandkids all the time. She just uses puffy paint (don't know if that is the correct name...) The older ones use the bottles, for the youngers, she gives them paint brushes. We have them in our garden and they hold up to the elements.

Puffy paint is a cool twist.....hmmm good thing we didn't get to them today. I think that sounds cool
