Marble painting

I remember doing this at school and loving it, and now Bubble loves it too :-)

WE USED:

* marbles
* plastic tray/shallow container
* paper
* paint (you can thin it with water if you want to)

Lay your paper in the base of the tray and add spoonfuls of paint.

Drop in the marbles.

Let your child pick up the tray and roll the marbles around, creating patterns in the paint.

It is great for teaching kids cause and effect as they move the tray in different directions.
