Painting and decorating pebbles is popular during the Summer months, but why not extend the fun into Fall with these easy Halloween rock painting ideas.
It is so fun to go gathering pebbles and small rocks at the beach, but what is even better is painting and decorating them afterwards.
Halloween is full of pumpkin cheer, so there is no better design to put on your rock this year! Paint some pumpkin rocks and leave them beside your carved Jack O Lantern!
Maybe you might personalize your rock with a message and hide it somewhere for someone else to find?!

Why stop with a pumpkin when you can create all sort of Halloween rocks.
You can copy the others from my picture below.
Personally I found the ghost rock painting to be easy. I painted the stone gray, and did the outline with a black marker. I painted the inside white and after it had dried I added the mouth, eyes and eyebrows.
With these Halloween rock painting ideas you just need to take your time and practice. These are not suitable for younger kids as they would not have the fine motor skills to complete the sketching and painting. I do know they would enjoy seeing Mom or Dad completing these.
