Amazing DIY Rock Painting Projects

Rock Painting is one of the latest crazes to hit young and old. Rock painting is so much fun and has even formed numerous groups around the world where painted rocks are left for people to find. All of these Rock painting projects are fun and easy to follow along. You can also check out our Rock Painting Pinterest board for more inspirational ideas.

The smoothest river rocks are the easiest to paint on, but don’t let irregular rocks scare you off, instead look at them like you would a cloud in the sky, see what shape it looks like and work from there. Painting rocks is such a fun and relaxing craft for all ages. When we paint on rocks we like to use these painting pens.

Years ago I did a post all about using Indian corn (or flint corn) in learning activities, but I don’t think I’ve ever done a post about regular corn learning activities, so let’s get into it.

Print out this corn number recognition activity from I Heart Crafty Things and use yellow dot stickers for kids to match and cover the numbers from 2 to 12 that they get when rolling dice. Or do some corn kernel math with these ideas from Gift of Curiosity. Kids can guess how many kernels are in a cup or bowl, then count them, and learn about grouping 5 or 10 kernels together and using skip counting to count faster if they’re ready for that.

I think the only language arts corn learning activity I found was this letter recognition activity from My Pre K Box. Print out the corn shape and use round stickers to match the letter on the kernel to the one on the sticker.

I found a lot of printables that include the life cycle of corn and other activities, like this one from MomBrite, which includes a word search and other activities; or this 16-page Montessori inspired corn unit study that includes life cycle, labeling, three part cards and more from Only Passionate Curiosity; or the corn worksheets from Simple Everyday Mom, which includes writing practice, a letter identification maze and a label the parts of corn worksheet.

Tina’s Dynamic Homeschool Plus has a free for subscribers printable life cycle foldout that is a fun way to present the information. They used it in a sensory bin but you can just use it as a part of teaching about corn if you’d rather.

Dancing corn is a classic science activity done with baking soda and vinegar. Get the instructions from Fun Learning for Kids.

Kids Konnect has a set of printables and facts all about corn mazes, which is fun if going to a corn maze is part of your fall tradition.

And you can craft a funny ear of corn with this printable from Craft Corner DIY.
