How To Make Fingerprint Heart Rocks
Step 1 Rinse your rocks with water and allow to dry completely. Sometimes the rocks come a bit dusty and washing them will help the paint adhere better! Add a small amount of paint to a palette, paper plate, or piece of cardboard.
Step 2 Have your child dip their finger into the paint. Gently press their finger onto the rock forming one side of the V shape. Re-dip their finger in paint and add the other side of the V to form a heart!
Step 3 Let the paint dry completely, then use a black marker to add arms, legs, and a face to your painted hearts! Aren’t these just the most adorable thing you’ve ever seen? I love them!
And there you have it… my new favorite Valentine’s Day craft for kids! Painted fingerprint heart rocks are a simple yet beautiful craft to give to those we love. If you want to preserve these fun heart rocks for years to come add a layer of clear varnish or modge podge and let dry before gifting to friends and family. â¤ď¸
