Monday: marble art

Isaac came up with the idea of painting with marbles.  Well, it seemed worth a shot.  I covers some trays in press-n-seal, gave them a cup with paint and away they went.

It actually worked a bit better than I expected.  The paint isn't super runny, so they could pour the marble onto the tray without touching the paint.  By the time the marble was out of paint they could use their fingers to put it in the cup with minimal mess.

Of course, the marbles escaped a few times, and by the end Joshua was doing more playing than marble painting which got his hands all messy.  But it washed off.

We did find that the larger, heavy marbles work a bit better.
