Looking for Painted Rock Ideas or Painted Rock Crafts for Kids? You've come to the right spot! Here are 20 colorful and fun rock DIY projects to get started.

By now you've probably heard about the painted rock craze, and may even have found some painted rocks hidden in parks or community spaces in your area. The purpose is to spread positivity and joy— it's hard not to smile when you discover a beautiful painted rock!

In my neighborhood, there is a Facebook group where members get together and share their latest rock art, and then once hidden, finders post photos of their rock hauls. It's seriously fun for kids and a great family activity that gets everyone of the house. My sister even uses rock hunting at the local park as a bribe for my nephew...it's amazing how well he listens when he know he can go out and hunt for painted rocks!

So what do you do with a painted rock after you find it? You can either keep it for your own collection, or re-hide it for someone else to find. I personally like the idea of redistributing the rocks because it's important to keep the good vibes flowing. If you have children that aren't ready to give up their collection, offer to let them paint their own stones to save or hide. In addition, there are some cute painted rock crafts for kids that are practically works of art on their own (hello, painted rock cactus centerpiece, I'm talking to you!).

Here are 20 easy painted rock ideas that you can make with your family...which is your favorite?
