Just like Jason & I enjoy creating in our house & gardens our kids enjoy creating too.
They are constantly asking me to make things so today we created a stone frog.
This was a very simple, easy, and free craft to make…perfect for our family!!!
Supplies & Tools Needed to Make this Adorable DIY Stone Frog
- 1 Large Flat Stone
- 4 Small Round Stones
- Green Acrylic Paint
- White Acrylic Paint
- Black Acrylic Paint
- Paint Brushes & Painting Supplies
- Glue Gun & an Extra Glue Stick
Step by Step Instructions for How to Make a DIY Painted Stone Frog
Step ONE – Gather Your Supplies
All you need to do is find 1 large and 4 small stone or rocks.
Send the kids out to find these in the backyard or a park!
Fortunately we have a lot if rocks in our garden.
I laid out a large oilcloth (an old sheet would work too) on our back deck because our 3 and 4 year old don’t exactly paint neatly.
Get the smocks on so they are ready to paint!
Step TWO – Paint the Stones Green & Let them Dry
Have the kids paint the large & small stones green.
It usually only takes a short amount of time (15 minutes) for the rocks to dry if you are painting outside.
Step THREE – Add White & Black Paint for the Eyes & Mouth
After the green dried Audrey painted white circles with black dots on two of the little stones.
Step FOUR – Glue the Painted Stone Frog Together
Then I glue gunned the eyes and feet on.
Put your adorable DIY painted stone frog outside in a covered spot or bring him inside.
See how super easy this painted stone frog was to make!
Even a 3 and 4 year old can do it.
I hope this inspires you & answers all your questions for how to make a DIY Painted Stone Frog for your home!
