Pebble Painting


This is a picture of my pebble painting project. We needed to bring a shoe box in order to do this project. We focused on making primary colors, and then we later explored making some secondary colors. We placed a piece of paper in the bottom of our shoe box, and then we used various sizes and types of pebbles to create designs on our papers. I thought this was a creative idea, and I think that many students would enjoy this project.

As an extension activity, I would have the students go on a nature walk and actually collect some of the pebbles that they will collect to use on this project. Then, they could write a short story explaining where they think the rock has been and what the designs mean in relation to where they think the rock has been.
