Marble Painting

    Some days we just need a break from our regular curriculum for some painting fun but we hate to clean up a big mess.  We tried out marble painting which we've heard so much about and it worked wonderfully.  We give it two thumbs up.  First, we covered the inside of a big plastic box with foil.  Next, we put a blank sheet of paper in the bottom of the box.  Last, we put paint on opposite ends of the paper's edge and began rolling our marbles from the paint to the paper by tilting the box from side to side.  When we were done, we had awesome refrigerator art and hardly any mess to clean up.  This is the perfect preschool activity.
