Marble Painted Egg
Today we did a little egg decorating for Easter… but not egg dyeing (not yet, at least). For this Easter art project, we let a single marble do the hard work :)
Materials:
- paper (cardstock is best)
- paint (we used tempera)
- marble
- box (or any container you don’t mind getting paint on)
We started by drawing an egg shape on our paper. Then we taped the paper onto our box top, squirted some paint into the corners, and placed a marble in the box. The final step is the most fun: simply shift the box from side to side, allowing the marble to roll around and paint its masterpiece!
After the paint dries, cut out the egg shape and mount onto a background of your choosing.
Enjoy!
