Pet Rocks...

Freckles and I painted pet rocks outside. 
We took simple stones, making them into funny lil faces.

If you were a child in the late 70's you may remember
the Pet Rock that came in a cardboard box with instructions
for people who needed a low maintenance pet. Though it was a fad...
the guy who sold little Grey rocks in a box became a millionaire over it.
Personally I never had one myself... 
C'mon... a rock I can find in my own backyard.... why would I buy one.


We had fun painting our pet rocks just how we wanted them to be.
Freckles made silly faces with googly eyes. I made her an owl... 
The best part was we were doing this together outside in the sunshine.
Okay readers... have you ever had a Pet Rock, or bought one? 
Or did you get one from your own backyard and keep it as a pet?
Inquiring minds want to know....
If not...Get OUTSIDE, find a rock, make it your pet.!

  4. Those are great!! I just love the googley eyes *grin*. I remember hearing about those pet rocks but I myself never had one LOL. We made rock creatures last year and used cement adhesive to glue them together and make funny bodies and stuff. The kids had a great time. I think we're going to have to do it again!
