This is a fun and easy project for small kids.
What you need:
1. Cardboard box - With one side open (a copy paper box lid, a shirt box, or even a shoe box are all good).
2. Paper - Big enough to cover bottom of cardboard box. It's better if you can find fairly stiff stuff).
3. Three or four marbles.
4. Three or four paint colors.
5. Sticky Tape.
Before you start:
Be warned, this can get messy, especially with younger kids. You'll want to put kids in smocks, and either put down plenty of newspaper or do it in your garden if weather is good enough.
Method:
1. Put paper in bottom of box. You can use a small bit of sticky tape on corners if it won't stay down by itself.
2. Dip one of marbles in paint so it's completely covered, then drop it in box. The kid then tilts box around so that marble leaves a trail of paint as it rolls around.
3. When paint on one marble runs out, repeat with a new marble and a new color.
4. When paper has a nice design, take it out and leave new masterpiece to dry.
