Marble Painting

Following a long stint outside, jumping on the trampoline, digging in the garden, and chasing chickens it was time for little sister to go to bed and some one on one creative time with Mum.

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!
