Kid’s Crafts: Painted Minions River Rocks

I haven’t met a kid who didn’t love the minions! Well, that goes for the adults too! Today’s crafting with kids craft project features those adorable minions and you’ll only need a few supplies to make them! We made this project with a group of kids ages 7 to 10 years of age.

Kid’s Crafts: Painted Minions River Rocks

Oval-Shaped River Rocks
Acrylic Craft Paint (Blue,Yellow, White)
Fine Point Sharpie Markers (Black, Silver)
Paint Brush, Water Dish, Paper Towels
Clear Acrylic Spray Sealer (Glossy Finish)
Old Newspaper

Lay old newspaper down onto your work surface. Paint the entire river rock with bright yellow acrylic craft paint. We used 2 coats of paint, allowing 30 minutes of drying time between coats. Use blue paint to paint the lower 1/3 of your river rock. Dip the end of your paint brush into white paint and dot on 2 eyes. Let dry for 45 minutes.

Use a silver Sharpie Marker to outline each of the white eyes. Let dry for 10 minutes. Use a black Sharpie Marker to outline the eyes (around your drawn silver circle), to dot on the inner eyes and to add a mouth. When doing the mouth, you can make all kinds of odd-shaped squiggle lines. Use the black Sharpie Marker to outline your painted blue bottom area. Let dry for 30 minutes.

Lay newspaper sheets down outside. Place your painted rocks on top. Lightly spray each rock with 1-2 coats of the Clear Acrylic Spray Sealer. Once dry, flip them over and spray the other side. Let dry for 1-2 hours. That’s it, you’re done!
