You will need to find a good sized rock that you like and wash and dry it so that it is clean and ready to decorate. 
 
Paint away!  or consider covering and decorating your rock with strips of colorful tissue paper and letting it dry. Add funny faces, pipe cleaners, paper shreds, and other materials to create different effects, or simply go with colorful paint!
