Continue until the three balls are completely coated with paint.<\/p>\n 3.\u00c2\u00a0Ask your toddler to place one of the balls in the box and shake it from side to side and back and forth. Talk about the interesting paint paths the ball makes as it rolls.<\/p>\n 4.\u00c2\u00a0Put in a fresh sheet of paper and invite your child to put the ball with the yellow paint in the box and shake it around.
