What you need:
- rocks and stones of all shapes, sizes, and colors
- acrylic paint
- paint brushes
- markers
- cotton
- white glue
- water
- shoebox
What to do:
- Clean and dry your collection of rocks.
- Pick a theme — the forest, the ocean, or the arctic — and paint your rocks to look like people, animals, or plants you might find there.
- Paint a background in your box and arrange your creatures.
- To affix your creatures to the box, dip cotton in a mixture of glue and water and then arrange your rocks on top. Or you can use a low-temperature glue gun.
