Supplies Needed to Make these Painted Mouse Rocks

  • rocks
  • grey, pink, and black acrylic paint
  • grey and pink felt
  • paint brush
  • hot glue and a hot glue gun
  • small wiggly eyes
  • pink yarn
  • scissors

Instructions for these Painted Mouse Rock Craft

After gathering supplies, paint the rocks grey. We looked for rocks that had a flat bottom and round top, similar to the shape of a mouse’s body.

While the paint is drying, make the mouse’s ears by cutting 2 grey ovals and 2 smaller pink ovals. Glue the pink ovals to the grey ovals, then fold the bottom and secure with hot glue. Glue the ears to the sides of the rocks.

Next glue two wiggly eyes to the front of the rock. Use black and pink paint to give your mouse a nose, whiskers, and a mouth. If your paintbrush isn’t thin enough to paint whiskers, try using a toothpick instead.

Last, glue a strand of pink yarn to the back of the mouse.

Label your rock with your family’s hashtag and the URL of your local rock hunting group.

Hide and enjoy!
