Rock Art

Turn simple rocks into a fun and colorful celebration of Canada’s animals and symbols.

You’ll Need:

  • Smooth rocks (various sizes)
  • Acrylic paints or paint pens
  • Paintbrushes (fine tip for details)
  • Permanent marker (optional for outlines)

Let’s Make it:

  1. Collect smooth rocks from outside and give them a quick wash to remove any dirt. Let them dry completely.
  2. Paint each rock with Canadian-inspired designs — try a maple leaf, flag, moose, beaver or even a totem pole.
  3. Once dry, trace details or outlines with a fine-tip marker for a polished look.

Why We Love It:

  • Encourages creativity and self-expression through nature-based art.
  • Strengthens fine motor skills and focus while painting small details.
  • Sparks conversations about Canadian symbols, culture and wildlife.
