Marble painting

In Pre-School 2 we have been using a lot of unique ways to paint.   Today Mr Castell introduced yet another way to paint without a brush.   We used only paint, paper, a container with a lid, some marbles, and our large motor skills.  The children were able to create some beautiful shamrocks.

One by one each child took a turn to "shake shake shake senora" and create their own unique shamrock. The children that had a turn already, enjoyed watching the others take their turn.  They even started cheering each other on while their friends were shaking the marbles.

This activity was good for showing the children patience by waiting for their turn, and also helped develop their large motor skills by shaking the container. Now our room is beautifully decorated with clovers for St.Patrick's day.
