Being a boy mom is so much fun, why else would I have a reason to paint tiny vehicles on rocks? Our boys and I have been painting the alphabet letters and pictures on rocks to learn the ABC's. I was encouraged by friends to paint cars on rocks for sandbox/outside toys so I have made a few of these sets available on Etsy if you would like to check them out! We love playing with them in the sandbox, and also they are just adorable hanging out in our garden to enjoy. What is more fun than playing with rocks? Maybe rocks with cars on them :)
Check to see if I have an available set here : Spindle Life Etsy Shop
Stones are painted with Acrylic paint and small details are added in with Sharpie markers. I seal the stones with Americana Acrylic Paint sealer to prevent some wear and tear.
A City Transportation Set: Fire truck, school bus, police car, and Stop Sign.
There is a painted dot on the back of each rock - to learn colors & easily find rocks that are turned over
Construction Site Set - Dump Truck, Cement Mixer, Excavator, Backhoe, Construction Sign
Each stone is sealed to be weatherproof and fit for the outdoors. However, no sealer will permanently protect the painted stones left outside. I recommend spraying your outside painted rocks with a Krylon acrylic sealer if the design begins to fade with lots of love, or if you notice any sign of wear and tear.
Thank you for visiting our site! I hope you enjoyed these stones and it inspires you to create for your little one as well!
