About This Project

Painted rocks are an awesome craft for easy outdoor fun, and these little turtles are practically begging to be your new garden friend! We've experimented with a bunch of different materials for coloring them - paint pens, sharpies, and acrylic paints all work great. The best rocks for painting are smooth, water-worn rocks typically found by rivers, lakes, or the ocean. These charming turtle rocks make perfect garden decorations and are a wonderful way to combine nature exploration with creative crafting!

This project is perfect for:
  • Outdoor Craft Activities
  • Rock Painting Projects
  • Garden Decorations
  • Nature Crafts
  • Summer Activities
