Harry Potter Rock Painting
Here at Ruffles and Rain Boots, we are very much Potter-heads. And one of the best parts of the whole series of books and movies? The pure and unadorned kindness that shines through both Harry and his friends throughout everything they face. This is one of the deepest lessons I want my kids to learn from this beloved character–Harry is kind.
So, I felt inspired to talk about Harry’s innate kindness, and that of his friends, while my kids and I sat down to make these Harry Potter kindness stones together.
Taking the time to do some Harry Potter rock painting was on our list, anyway, but turning it into a fun discussion about one of our favorite characters? Well, that was priceless and kind of amazing. If you’re ready to connect with your kids through Harry Potter kindness stones, well, let’s get started.

Materials
- Fabric paint
- Large smooth stones
- A pencil
- Sealer - mod podge
Instructions
- Wash your stones and dry well to remove any dirt or dust. Your stones don’t need to be a certain size or shape, the more unique the better, you just want to make sure you have a surface large enough for your design.
- Once your stones are completely dry take a pencil and lightly draw on your desired designs, if it intimidates you then just keep it simple. You can easily draw a pair of black glasses with a messy hairline and a scarf and everyone will know who it is!
- When you are happy with your designs use a black fabric marker or paint pen to fill in the outlines, don’t worry about the details yet. Allow to dry.
- Once your outline is dry you can begin filling in details, Unless you have a very steady hand I recommend doing all the details of the areas that don’t touch, allow the surface paint to dry and then fill in other colors that touch, this helps reduce bleeding colors together.
- Once all your details are finished and completely seal the stones front and back to help the paint stay in place longer.
