What Can I Do with a Stony Face Painted on Rocks?

Once you paint a Stony Face on rocks, you'll find many ways to have fun with him (or her). Here's one example.

We all have refrigerators and many of us use refrigerator magnets. Parents love to showcase their child's artwork on the fridge. Children love to do craft projects that they can proudly display.

A painted rock Stony Face can become refrigerator magnets. Eyes up, eyes down, eyes crossed. You and/or your children can express yourself on a refrigerator's canvas by rearranging the eye, nose and mouth features of the Stony Face.

Hand Painted Rocks Become Stony Faces

I recently had some fun painting simple facial features on various sizes of rocks and stones. I called my new creation Stony Face.

I then had an idea and even more fun rearranging the eye and mouth rocks I painted to create five additional funny Stony Faces.

Then I was inspired to paint more detailed mouths on some rocks and ended up with these LOL rocks that I could use with the basic Stony Face from my earlier project.

Finally, I decided to record all the steps I took to create the basic Stony Face, added 3 more simple eye and mouth patterns, and made a Stony Face rock painting how-to guide.
