Rock Art: Chalk Critters
This post may contain affiliate links.
Check out this fun rock art with sidewalk chalk nature craft! Â Your kids and you will both have fun using your creativity here.
We are getting stir crazy here with the sun shining. The kids want to do less and less school these days, and more outside playing. Isn’t that how it always goes in the spring time?
Here is a fun outdoor nature art & craft activity you can do with your children. They will love it! They will also love the opportunity to be outside in the glorious sunshine. I’m sure you won’t mind a little sunshine, either.
How to Make Rock Art With Chalk:
First, have your kids go outside and gather some rocks in the yard. Or, take the kids on a nature walk and gather them together along the way.
Gather all shapes, colors and sizes of rocks. Be thinking of ideas as you gather them. Do they look like animal heads or legs or bodies?
Next, brainstorm what you can turn each rock into. There is art and beauty inside every rock, I promise! Give each other some inspiration by telling each other what you see in the different rocks. (Kind of like cloud shapes!)
Now for the fun part, making the rock art! Get out your sidewalk chalk and turn the rocks into art! Â Get creative and make all kinds of little critters. Â (Or, try making homemade sidewalk chalk paint!)
I love how creative my kids were on this. I gave them the idea, and they thought of the animals on their own- how adorable are they?
