I got this idea from my Wondertime Magazine.
Cover work area in newspaper. Trace the bottom of a shoebox onto a piece of construction paper (I used a stronger watercolor paper). Then cut out the traced shape, put a piece of rolled tape on the back, and stick it in the bottom of the shoebox. Fill small paper cups or plastic containers about half full with different colors of washable paint. Place one marble (for kids 3 and up) or a rubber ball in each cup and make sure it's fully covered with paint. With a spoon, scoop a marble or ball out of a cup, letting some of the goopy paint drip off, and put it in the shoebox. Tilt the box as quickly or slowly as you like and watch the marble creat a design on the paper. Mix it up with other colors and more marbles as desired. When your work is complete, remove the paper and let dry completely, about 2 hours.
