Some of my fondest memories of History classes were times when teachers assigned projects instead of tests. In 5th grade my friends and I did a presentation on the first transcontinental railroad. I still remember wearing costumes and using tea to age our documents. In 9th grade we shot a soap opera style video featuring King Henry the Eighth's wives. It was fun to write and film... and even more hilarious to watch. (Picture bad high school acting mixed with Monty Python style humor. Yup. Good times.) Honestly, I don't remember much else from History classes (ack, sorry previous teachers!) but these projects shine brightly in my memory. They were fun to make and really made history come alive. Hopefully today's craft will help do that for your kids too! If they're interested in prehistoric times or art history, then this
Prehistoric Rock Art Craft is for them!

The techniques used to make this
rock art is pretty much the same that I used to make this super cute
mini Plaster of Paris Christmas village. So if you liked doing this craft, check that one out too.
Ok. Now let's make some rock art!
