Stone Painting  Summer fun: stone painting

Stone painting: a simple idea, easy to do! Be sure to pack your paints this summer: stone painting is a perfect vacation activity that can be done by people of all ages: fun for all the family!

Supplies
Tools
  • Paintbrush
  • Painting accessories (palette, rag, water cup)
Materials
  • Stones
  • Acrylic paint
Directions

Prepare your materials for stone painting

  • Collect stones from the beach.
    • Ensure they are smooth and as flat as possible
    • Wash them before painting on them
  • Set up your work space (protective covering, apron, etc) and your paint.

Paint the stones

  • Paint the stones however you wish.
  • Leave to dry.
  • To make your creation more shiny, add a touch of varnish or clear glue once the paint is dry.
  • For baby footprints: put a bit of paint on a palette. Put the baby's foot on the palette in the paint and then on the stone.
  • Sign and date it.

Note : Don't forget to have your kids sign their creations! They will be thrilled to come across their artwork when older!

  • Acrylic paint, brushes, smooth stones... and your creativity are all you need to make beautiful souvenirs from vacation!
