Aaaah time for some Rock Craft fun! As I am sure you know, rock painting is still all the rage. How can you resist the smooth cool touch of a rock.

And if you like, us, have brought back a truck load of rocks from the holidays… we have a lovely Rock Painting Vegetables Craft for you today! Depending on your children’s age.. make this with or for your children! A great Garden Craft or play craft!

Rock Planters & Veggie Tic Tac Toe – Materials

• Rocks of different sizes and shapes
• Paints – we LOVE the finish you get with these enamel paints – they are an investment, but our tubs have lasted us for years! And you don’t need much paint – US / UK (affiliate links)
• Black sharpie or Posca Pen (fine) – US/ UK – again an investment, but they will last you!
• Paint brush
• If making a tic tac toe game: some sticks!

How to paint rocks into vegetable planters

For this particular craft, I did in fact only create the how to step by step video guide! I hope you find it useful! But in essence, I added the colours in layers and once fully dry added the outline with the black posca pen.

If you are playing tic tac toe, you will need at least 2 x 4 of one vegetable. In our case I went for carrots and aubergines!

Rock Painting Vegetable uses

Use these painted rock vegetables are garden planters! Always a fun way to decorate the garden. The Gloss Enamels weather really well.

Use the painted rock vegetables as a tic tac toe game as mentioned above – we have made a tic tac toe game before – see our Bees & Ladybirds.

Use these painted rock vegetables in a toy kitchen. Though please do make sure they are of a suitable size for younger children to play with. Or that they are only play with under super vision.

ENJOY!
