ROCK FACES
The original idea for this project came from the lovely HANDMADE CHARLOTTE blog, I urge you to go check out their fun crafts and sweet treats, the blog is a feast of beautiful crafty fun!
We used chalk markers to draw our fun face shapes onto the rocks. The chalk markers do rub off after a while so if you wanted to make them permanent you could either cover them with a few coats of Modge Podge or use permanent acrylic paints.
We made all the face shape elements quite simple and non descriptive so the activity was more open-ended allowing you to use the different shapes in many ways. This was also a great activity to spark a conversation about facial expressions and emotions. We had so much fun making all these fun rock faces!
MATERIALS:
- Smooth pebbles
- Chalk markers or acrylic paints
- Modge Podge glue (optional)
HOW TO:
Draw or paint lots of different 'face' element shapes into the rocks. We made pairs of each shape. Now play and make some funny faces!

+About Us
Mini Mad Things is created by Mum, designer and craft enthusiast,Eleanor Ford.If I had to introduce myself in one word, I would say I am a maker.I grew up in a house where we made things. We learnt to sew and to knit; to saw, hammer and build. My Mum baked bread every day and we grew vegetables. We learnt to fix broken things. We were resourceful. All of these skills made me who I am and ignited my love for craft. This passion for making is something I would like to pass on to my children and to others; it is the reason for creatingMINI MAD THINGS.As well as creating all the fun kids craft project ideas here on our blog, we also sell a range of CRAFT BOXES, BOOKS and ECO ART SUPPLIES.
