Part of the fun with this '70s-inspired craft is hunting for the perfect rocks to decorate, making it a fitting project for after a nature hike or during a birthday party.

Materials

• Rocks and pebbles
• Glue (hot glue lasts longest, but white glue and glue sticks work well and are easier with a crowd of kids)
• Googly eyes and pom-poms

• Fun fur
• Scissors
• Acrylic paints and paintbrushes

Instructions

1. Set out the rocks and decorating supplies on a big table.

2. Look for natural features in the rocks that resemble noses, chins, ears, and so on.

3. Stick pebbles, googly eyes, and pom-poms in place with the glue. Kids can also use fun fur for hair, mustaches, and beards or apply additional features with acrylic paint.

Variations:

Try making Pet Shells, an easy adaptation of the basic design and a good way to get rid of all those shells from last summer's beach vacation.
