Candy Cane Inspired Painting

Continuing with our children's fascination with marbles, we placed red paper and white paint out today and invited the children to explore rolling the marble around in the paint in order to create artwork. This activity encouraged the children to use the same hand-eye coordination and concept of moving the marble around on a flat tray similar to the marble mazes that have been created at the science center. The white tracks on the red paper reminded us of candy canes!
