I've been saving this activity for letter "M" week and now that it's here, I was really excited to see the kids try this one out! We used some marbles in a box to make our paintings today and the kids really had fun with it. It was fun to see them concentrate so hard on getting those marbles to go where they wanted them to. It took a lot of concentration and coordination to figure out how to get the box to move the marbles into and through the paint. I set the boxes on top of an overturned bowl to give them some stability while they rocked the box around. Some found it easier to control if they just picked it up, while others used a combination of methods until they found what worked best for them. They had a good time seeing their colors mix together, and watching the patterns that they made, and the end results turned out pretty cool, too!
