I'm trying to think of something crafty to do this afternoon and wondering if anyone has any good ideas as I'm not feeling particularly inspired!
I've got 3 aged 4, 2.5 and 1.5
Thanks!

Marble painting.
You need;
A large biscuit tin with lid
3 or 4 marbles/small balls
Paper and paints
Place paper in tin, squirt in blobs of paint, add the marbles, put on lid and shake/roll the tin.
When you take the lid off, you will be left with some great patterns! :thumbsup:

Great minds! I've just dug out some baking tins and marbles to do this!
Thank you x

Like this idea!
Will have to give it a try. Think I may use an old celebrations tub though.
Thanks :) x

I've done this with marbles dipped in paint and in the autumn we collect conkers and roll those too. All the children love it.

You can do this with a salad spinner too.
Cut out circles of paper and place in the bottom of the spinner. Add blobs of paint, place lid on and spin.:thumbsup:
