Marbled Easter Egg Picture
Beth explains how to paint a neat Easter egg picture using marbles.

Materials Needed:
  • Poster Board or Heavy Construction Paper
  • Lid from a Box
  • 2 - 3 Marbles
  • Paint
Instructions:
Cut an egg shape out of the paper. Place the egg shape in the box lid.

Squirt several colors of paint onto the egg (I like to use flouresant paint or glitter paint but any will do).

Drop a few marbles in and let the child roll the box lid back and forth to make an interesting marbled egg.

Set the egg aside to dry and then hang it up for all to enjoy! (If desired, marbles do not have to cleaned before using again.)
