Inspired by the upcoming strawberry summer season {yum – who is ready for it?!} here is our simple Strawberry Rock Painting kid craft idea that even the littlest ones of the family can help create! The supplies are really inexpensive {especially if you hit up your local Dollar Tree or raid your own backyard for the rocks} and the rules are simple. Just let them paint!

Then once done – hide your child’s finished pieces in your own backyard for a nice surprise to passing guests OR spread them around town to spread some strawberry cheer! Whatever you do – I sure hope you have fun creating them with your child today! Happy crafting my friends!

Supplies:

* Rocks – any size, shape, store bought or even ones found in your own backyard!
* Red/Green/Black Acrylic Craft Paint
* Paint Brushes
* Paper Plate

Directions:

* First place your rocks on a paper plate. Now have children paint the front of their rocks completely red.
* When they are done with that step, have them paint a green “stem” on one side and some black dots on the other to give the look of a real strawberry.
* Repeat for each rock. Then set aside to let it dry completely.
* Once dry – scatter in your own front yard OR leave them in random places in town to spread some strawberry themed smiles!
