June Activity of the Month - Pet Rock - Craft

Pet Rocks

Why this activity? When you were a child did you ever think about how cool it would be to have a pet monster, monkey, ladybug or even a dog but your parents would never let you? Well guess what? Now you and your children can make your imaginations into reality by using a rock to create your dream pet! It’s fun, creative and most importantly a craft that you can keep forever, while remembering that odd pet faze you went through as a child.

Items you will need: Rocks (various sizes), glue (white glue and possibly glue gun), markers, jewels, glitter, googly eyes, various fabrics (i.e. cotton, felt, foam), feathers, fur material and any other unique items that you would like to use for your pet.

Where can you buy the items? Rocks can be found at any craft store, dollar store or at any beach or park. The craft supplies can be found at Wal-Mart, Zellers, Michaels, various dollar stores and art & craft stores.

Suitable ages: 3 years old to12 years old. This craft can be modified to make it suitable for younger children to engage in.

***Please note: Adult assistance and supervision during this craft for children ages 6 years and younger is a must! ***
