Painting with Marbles

 I think the photos say it all. This is so much fun with toddlers and not quite as messy as letting them loose with paint brushes.

We need marbles to paint with. Now which ones should we choose?

We prepared the paper in a tray so that the marbles would be contained

We put a few squirts of paint on the paper and then added a few marbles

Imogen shook the tray to move the marbles through the paint and make her picture.

We thought the painting was a little wet so thought we would try making a mirror image

                                                  Now we have two paintings to show Dad when he comes home
