How it works

A monster forgives a wobbly line, and no two have to match. These monster rock painting ideas are 48 storybook monsters sorted by their one big feature, 12 to a group.

Read the full guide

Pick the feature first

Every One eye monster is built around a single white eye, such as One-eyed blob with three hairs standing straight up. Lots of eyes runs from Three eyes stacked in a column up a tall stone to Purple stone covered edge to edge in swab-dot eyes.

Lumps, bumps and corners

An odd stone is a head start. Every lump stays on Lumpy stone monster with its eye on the biggest bump. Bumps turn into horns on Two-bump stone monster, a horn painted on each bump. A blocky stone suits Square stone monster with an eye in every corner.

Questions and answers

What are easy monster rocks to paint?

The Easy group marks 18, such as Orange one-eyed monster with a single square tooth, Shaggy monster with its eyes lost under a long fringe and Lilac monster with freckles and one curl on top.

How do you make a rock monster look furry?

Pull the paint outward. Fuzzy monster in dry-brush fur flicked outward to the rim uses short flicks in two blues, and Fork-pulled fur monster with a pink nose and no mouth drags thick paint with a plastic fork.

Are these monsters too scary for small children?

They are storybook monsters: grins, single teeth, bows and quilts, nothing that chases or bites. The tone is set by Baby monster with one first tooth and a bow on its horn.
