Moon Rocks

Have I mentioned how much my kids love to collect rocks?  I found a craft for moon rocks at DLTK’s Kids and decided this would be a great way to use some of the lovely rocks just lying around the house.  Aiden decided he would prefer to suit up in his jet pack and gather more rocks.

 What We Used:

• rocks
• small cardboard boxes (I purchased ours from Michaels)
• paint
• paint and foam brushes
• metallic pens

I let Aiden paint the rocks (he had specific ideas on what color they should be) and the cardboard boxes.

When the boxes were dry I wrote Moon Rock on them with the metallic pen. 

 

The boxes can be used to display the rocks or to store them ~ cause we really need a way to keep even more rocks in the house!
