Rock Crafts for Kids that Rock

We love making crafts with natural materials and stone crafts are one of the more fun ones! You can buy a lot on your next nature walk or just stop at the dollar store if you live in the city and “wild” rocks are harder to find.

Lots of fun activities and rock crafts for both kids and adults!

1. With a little imagination, you can easily create a board game out of rocks – like we did this one! Easy and fun

2. If not, you really need to make some story stones! They’re the best for open-ended play, and there’s really a lot you can do with them (and they look really cute). Happy Hooligan

3. Correcting spelling errors? Rocks can be used for that purpose too, just check out this spelling activity! No time for Flash cards

4. If you have a garden (and if you don’t), you can make adorable stone garden markers. Adventure in a box

5. Can’t keep plants alive (I admit I’m guilty of that)? Make cacti out of stone! Craftberry Rush

7. What about tic tac toe game? Red Ted Art
