When painting river rocks do you use just acrylic paint? Also do you seal the rock with anything after painting it?

thanks

My mom does this with her grandkids all the time. She just uses puffy paint (don't know if that is the correct name...) The older ones use the bottles, for the youngers, she gives them paint brushes. We have them in our garden and they hold up to the elements.

Puffy paint is a cool twist.....hmmm good thing we didn't get to them today. I think that sounds cool
