A FEW SIMPLE STEPS:

The method to create this craft is simple and self-explanatory in the picture.
So we'll only offer a few tips and techniques!

  • Select pebbles with a fairly smooth surface - easy to paint.

  • Pebbles with a slight point will make a lovely little face.

  • Draw the shapes on the pebbles with a soft pencil.
    Playschool Teachers can perhaps do this beforehand.

  • Acrylic paint works well on this type of surface, it is thick and waterproof.

  • Add a little bit of white paint to colors to make the paint less see-through when painting it on the pebbles.

  • You may need two coats of paint for the perfect finish - apply the first coat and wait for it to dry.

  • Wash the brush out between colors.

  • Allow different colors to dry before painting the next color.

    • Use the color ideas in the picture below to create different ladybug pebble crafts!
