For whatever reason, my boys love collecting rocks. It isn't unusual for me to remove several of them from their pants when I'm about to do laundry, and if I'm not careful they occasionally will make it into the wash. I don't really no why they love rocks so much, but I do think this project is a great activity and a way to transform a picked-up rock into a true 'pet-rock'. This is a great activity for camp crafting, and fun to do with themes as well like animals, aliens and people. Enjoy! 

If you are looking for some cool summer crafts and want something that even the toddlers can do, visit Mini Eco for some tips on painting with ice cubes!
This is a super fun and super easy way to let the little ones paint with minimal mess.

Hope everyone had a great 4th of July weekend! Here in Georgia, the summer is half way over because most schools start back in early August. July also starts the second round of summer camps as well as vacation bible school. I love this VBS project! The plaque is actually quite small so this would make a great group crafting activity.
