Painted Pet Fish Rocks For The Garden


Painted Pet Fish Rocks For The Garden - Kid Craft Idea

Rocks Painted To Look Like Fish For The Garden

I’m ALL about thinking outside the box and this Pet Fish Rocks kid craft idea is just that! Craft time doesn’t have to involve popsicles sticks {although I love them} or expensive materials!

Inspired by summer and beautiful sunny Florida, here is our simple Pet Fish 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 and create one-of-a-kind fish friends!

Then once done – hide your child’s finished decorated fish rock pieces in your own backyard for a nice surprise to passing guests OR spread them around town to spread some “fishy” cheer! Whatever you do – I sure hope you have fun creating them with your child today!

Happy crafting my friends! Don’t forget to share pictures of your pet rock fish creations when you are done, on our Facebook page to see! #gluedtomycrafts
