Halloween
Painted Rocks

If you are looking for some inexpensive, easy crafts for your kids this Halloween, head out to your backyard to start the fun. Hunt around for rocks to paint with fun or spooky Halloween faces.

For Pumpkin You need:

Instructions:

The texture of the rock for the pumpkin can be smooth, bumpy, or even jagged, as was in our case. Before you begin, stand the rock up in the position you would like it to be when your craft is complete. Ours was a little tricky, we just leveled him off using the raffia and tissue.

Paint the rock orange and let it dry. Using a black marker, draw on pumpkin's face. Glue silk leaves to the bottom of your pumpkin. Using bits of Kleenex for leveling and bunches of raffia, glue rock onto "straw bed". Top off your pumpkin rock with green chenille for the stem by folding in half and gluing on top of pumpkin's head.

If your rock is longer, you might paint a ghost. Smaller round, rocks make great spider bodies.
