Magical Space Rocks

I bought this kit to use with my niece for our first rock painting. It came with rocks, paints, two paint brushes, several "stickers" and a sponge. I didn't really read what I purchased so I was surprised to see that the stickers needed to be applied with the sponge and water. It was very easy to do, but we had to either let our paint dry and then apply or apply then let the rock dry to paint. It wasn't an issue for us as we just set those aside and started another rock.

The rocks varied in look and size. One rock was very ugly and we didn't use it because it was pitted and didn't take paint well. We had purchased other rocks to go with this so again, it was not a big deal for us. I do wish there were more paint brushes! We had to continue to wash them to not mix colors. Overall, this was a great starter kit and now we know what else we want to get to try again!

I got this as a gift for my niece. She loves it. We have been rock painting for years and have our own rock garden. It is nice to have a kit with everything you need together. My one piece of advice is that if you are going to put these rocks outside in a rock garden, you need to spray them with a clear UV protected acrylic spray paint. Because if you don’t the paint that they provide will chip off the rocks in time with weather.

I am surprised by the reviews being negative. I do not know what size of rocks people expected to get, but there were two bags, good color paint and the glow in the dark was a bonus. If you know much about acrylic, these paints are water soluble.

If you are looking for something to keep kids (my grandsons are 7 and 9) busy and let their artistic talents, buy it. Already, they are asking to paint some more. Received it fast as well.

This is the cutest thing to come out of quarantine. I made the most adorable lady bug, and now I have a weird emotional attachment to her. I might be in love with a rock that I painted. Her name is Daisy, I tell her about my day when anything happens. Like when someone walks past my house on their daily walk or when they gave me the wrong drink at dunkin donuts but i didn't say anything because essential workers are trying their best and i would never want to blame or upset them. She is a great listener. Luv u Daisy <3

This is awesome even for adults!!!! I got this as a Christmas gift for my 5 year old son and he of course loved it we did it together. I came up with the idea that we could paint the rocks and then leave them at the local parks when the weather warms up for other people to find. He thought that was really cool and really enjoyed painting the rocks with me! But I also found that it was very therapeutic and after he went to bed I found myself doing it by myself! I enjoyed it and I think I will be purchasing another because it is so therapeutic! I think I found a new hobby!😂 Also the paint is very thick and it dries very quickly my husband said that he read on the instructions that the pain actually hardens over time. This paint works very well with rocks. I tried a crayola paint and that did not work. We were able to get the gold stencil tattoo things to work on the rocks but not the black ones.
