The Mom I Want to Be

 

Marble Painting is a super simple and fun way to create a wonderful piece of art! They are great just by themselves, or you can trace a shape onto to the paper before you add the marbles and paint(as seen below). Later when it’s dry, you can cut out you shape!

 

To make your own marble painting masterpiece, you’ll need a few supplies:

 

~open, (preferably shallow) cardboard box

~marbles

~tempera paint (washable if possible)

~paper to paint on (able to fit in box)

~small yogurt container for paint and marbles (see below)

~spoons (plastic or otherwise)

 

Place your paper inside the box.  Gather you yogurt (or other small containers) add the marbles and paint. Swirl the marble around in the paint. Spoon out your paint covered marble onto the paper in the box. Tilt the cardboard box from side to side and watch as the marble leaves “tracks” and create beautiful strokes of paint! Ta-da! A wonderful work of art!
