MAKE••• A Pet rock!
Super silly, super easy, super fun.
Pet rocks are the best. Be on the lookout for any stone that speaks to you: at the beach or park, in your backyard or city streets. (Once you start looking, they’re everywhere!*) Take your time. Choose wisely. When you decide you’ve met The One**, take heart — you’re the proud partner of a pet rock! Treat it well.
* Keep in mind that some aren’t yours for the taking. Please be respectful.
** Pet rocks can be very social, so you might find more than one The One.
All pet rocks are different. Some like constant attention — keep them in your pocket and pet them often — while others are happy to sit quietly on a desk or bedside table. Some are happy just as nature made them, while others want a bit of flair. Feel out what yours desires, and have fun bringing their unique personality to life.

Keep in mind, all you really need is a rock.
Cue the Makeover Montage
Pet rocks are remarkably accommodating, and will undoubtedly be thrilled with whatever zhuzhing you do. Does yours have a face or features? A pattern or design? One googly eye or a bunch? A plethora of mini pom poms or a demure couple puffs? Anything goes!
more!
Markers, watercolors, colored pencils, crayons, ribbons, dried leaves, and more can all be used to primp a pet rock. Experiment and enjoy!
Also: It’s very likely that after finding and making a pet rock, you’ll realize that there are lots of pets / pals out there! Keep an eye out for shells or sea glass, pieces of wood or dried leaves, or other objects that you can adopt.
