Pet Rock

Do you remember the pet rock? That zany novelty that brought its creator a fortune. Well maybe our pet rock won't make you rich, but it is sure to delight the youngsters.

You'll want to stop at the craft store and pick up some of those little plastic eyes, where the eyeballs roll around in clear plastic. They are relatively inexpensive.

Begin your project with a rock hunting expedition. Explain to your crafters that they will be creating their own pet rock, and to be on the look out for just the right specimen.

Materials Needed:
Rock
White glue
Small plastic eyes
Felt
Scissors
Colored permanent ink felt tip pens

Directions:
Begin by cutting two oval shapes from the felt for your rock's shoes. If your rock is about the size of a tennis ball, you might want to cut ovals about 1 inch by 2 inches. Glue the felt feet onto the bottom of the rock, so that they stick out.

Glue on the eyes. If desired, decorated the rock with the felt tip pens. Your rock man will make a cheerful paperweight!
