Marble painting

A few weeks ago we did a marble painting. It's a easy and fun art project.

What you need:

Finger paint
Paper
Marbles
shoe box top
Paint brush
Cup with water
Damp cloth







To get started we put the paper in the shoe box top-we just folded the paper edges to fit it in. And then we added the paint! We tried to put paint on the marbles and then roll them on the paper but it was easier and less messy to just drip some paint on the paper and roll the marbles through the paint. 
After Jason finished one painting we cleaned the marbles by putting them on the damp cloth and put a new paper in the shoe box.
It's a good art project to teach hand eye coordination and also mixing colors.

This one is my favorite!It looks like fireworks to me :) 
The last one was made without adding new paint, just using the old paint left on the marbles.
