I found a tray that fit A3 sized paper, a paint shirt, marbles and acrylic paint and did a short demonstration, and let the little guy go for it. He hasn't been too phased with painting or creating of late, so I hoped this would grab his attention... the marbles, the movement, the paint, the lines, will it capture his interest?
He loved it! Marble painting was a wonderful, quick, creative experience. It was perfect for a three and a half year olds attention span.
The paintings look quite lovely on his wall and we will definitely be doing marble painting again!
