Who this list is for
This pet rock house craft supply list is for seven-year-olds decorating a smooth rock and creating a tiny paper home around it. It suits a dry indoor craft table with one rock and one small box per child.
How to use this list
Begin by matching each child with a smooth flat rock and a small cardboard box. Set out washable acrylic paint, paintbrushes, and paint palettes for the rocks. While painted rocks dry, children can use colored cardstock sheets, felt scraps, wiggle eyes, fine-tip black markers, and washable tacky glue to decorate the box home. Keep paper towels nearby for paint and glue cleanup.
Common mistakes
Do not choose rough, sharp, or unusually heavy rocks for this project. Avoid putting a wet painted rock into the cardboard house, since paint can transfer to the box. Use washable tacky glue sparingly so felt scraps and wiggle eyes do not slide around. Keep marker details for after the painted surface is dry.
What is on this list

Before you begin
Check that every rock fits inside or beside its box as intended. Arrange paint palettes and brushes first, then place scissors and glue at shared stations. Set aside a drying area for rocks and finished houses so the cardstock and felt decorations stay clean.
