Painting with Marbles

This very easy, very simple project makes me sooo happy! I love that its simple enough for my 2 year old to to, I love hearing the clinking of the marbles, I love the beautiful final art piece it makes!

 

It also has a 1 min prep, just gather your materials and you're go to go.

Materials:

* Marbles - I used probably 10-15 in the pan but you can use less. They were different sizes.

* Paint - Washable tempura is preferred, I used Colorations Simply Washable HERE)

* A pan - This could be a baking pan or a cardboard shallow box, nothing too deep or too shallow. 

* Paper - Card stock or a thicker paper like cardboard works best. I taped my paper down so it held still.

​

How to:

1. Choose the paint colors your want to use

 

2. Tape your paper down

​

3. Add paint 

​

4. Get your marbles moving by tilting the pan up and down and side to side

​

5. Watch the beautiful colors move and mix into each other

​

6. Set artwork aside to dry. REPEAT!
