Painting Fossils with Water

Kids
Written By Megan Ernst

LCC teacher Sara Johnson shares a great activity that combines science, nature, and celebrates the unique place we live.

Materials: Any rocks or stones you have collected, small jar with water and a paintbrush

Our family loves collecting rocks while visiting our favorite local beaches. Where we live, we often find many petoskey stones and leland blues and an assortment of beautiful fossils. Water brings out the full colors and designs of these pretty stones and it can be very soothing and therapeutic. It’s a fun activity that you can come back to again and again.
