Smaller-tipped brushes are great for detail work. You don't have to spend a lot of money on brushes. Pens and markers are also a great way to decorate your rocks and may be easier for younger children to use. To seal your rocks with a clear finish, it's a little easier to use a spray. You'll want one that says weather resistant or non-yellowing.
