I purchased this for my 7 year old granddaughter - we both enjoyed it! The book includes paints and a rock. Instructions include how to mix the paints for different colors and a myriad of examples and inspirations. If the stone you found does not already suggest something, there are many examples of things you can paint: one side says 'Turn me over' the reverse says 'Thank you'. I have found most Klutz books to be easy to follow and lots of fun. Great pictures!

Super choice for a stocking stuffer. Let your child use their imagination. My son loves rocks, and loves art, so this was a number one choice for us. I also reccomend "Pipe Cleaners Gone" and "A Look Inside Dinosaurs".

This book was used in an art class that my daughter was in. She loved it so much that I am going to order it for us. The truth is I got to paint a rock too, and I am dying to do more. It has great illustrations with lots of ideas.

I used this book as inspiration for a project with the grades 3-5 crafts class I teach at my daughter's school -- it was a LOT of fun! I told the kids it would be the "hardest" project we'd ever work on ;) Instead of using the included paints we used numerous little 2 oz bottles of acrylic paint, which were really inexpensive, more colorful and gave the rocks a wonderful look. While the kids flipped through the book for ideas, the room was filled with lots of "Oh, cool" and "Oooooh!" and "Awesome!" remarks. So many choices, so little time! This was a neat project with great results from the kids. I began several rocks myself and I'm just as hooked! With a virtually endless supply of free or inexpensive "canvas" around and a comparable bounty of ideas, this book can lead you to limitless fun creations. A+

ver clever with a lot of great ideas. My kids love it and have made some great rocks. Good imagination item that gets used more than toys

I've had this book for years and just bought it as a present. Tons of fun rock painting ideas. If you vacation on a big lake like we do (where there is an endless supply of rocks), painting rocks is a terrific way to pass time. This book (and a gallon jug full of paints and brushes) has been a mainstay on our vacation packing list for years.

I bought this for my 4 year old granddaughter and me! I wanted to learn the "basics" and didn't want to invest a fortune in supplies right now. So this was perfect. Fun projects...perfect activity for kids. Would highly recommend this book! It's complete right off the bat...Can start a project immediately!
