My kids and I picked up some round and flat rocks on a recent nature walk and turned them into an adorable pet rock lion craft. They are super cute to have on display on a shelf or dresser or can even be used as a paper weight on a desk. This makes a great summer afternoon craft after getting outside and going on a nature walk with you children.

Supplies Needed:
– flat & round rock
– yellow acrylic paint
– paintbrush
– orange yarn
– yellow craft foam sheet
– googly eyes
– black marker
– scissors
– tacky glue
Tutorial:
1. Paint your rock
Start by painting the front of your flat and round rock with your yellow paint. Let it dry completely.
2. Glue on yarn strands
Cut up a handful of small yarn strands for your lion hair. Add a line of tacky glue around the outside edge of your painted rock and then place your orange yarn strands around your rock on the glue. Then add a second circle of tacky glue and add one more layer of lion hair to make a full mane.
3. Add ears
Cut triangle lion ears out of your yellow foam sheet and glue them underneath your first layer of yarn.
4. Glue eyes & draw nose and smile
Finish your pet rock lion craft by gluing on googly eyes and using your black marker to draw on a nose, mouth and whiskers.
