Marble Painting Craft: So Easy & Fun, a One Year Old Can Do It (and His Big Brother, Too!)

Another fun activity we did over spring break was marble painting! I've seen the idea all over social media and thought we'd try it for ourselves. 

Here's our finished projects! Woo hoo!

I started with putting a piece of construction paper in the bottom of a box. 

Then I added paint to the box. I just kind of flipped it around a little bit. 

Then, I added some marbles. We closed up the box and got to work! 

SHAKE SHAKE SHAKE! 

Froot Loop decided to jump on the trampoline to shake up the box. 

Cocoa Puff tried to shake it too but was more interested in throwing it. 

And then he climbed on top of it. 

When they had enough, we opened the box and oohed and aahed over our fun artwork! I have them hanging in the kitchen. 

Where do you display your kids' artwork?

My daughter loves all things crafts. This would be a fun, messy blast for her!

What a cute idea! I love that all the mess is contained in the box. Can't wait to try this with the littles.

I've done this in the past with my daycare kids and they loved it! We'd use various sizes marbles and objects to see what type of splatter they'd make. They loved it!

Those are fun to do with kids. We have the shake and create and both of our kids really enjoy it. They love painting. Beautiful painting by the way.
