Thinking out loud – as a toddler!
I’ve not been playing with the paints for a long time already. So, this was what I did under mummy’s supervision on last Saturday morning, 24 July.
Materials needed:

Drawing paper or any kinds of paper & a box – any size & type.

Beads, small balls, marbles, beans and nuts or anything round. I don’t have any marbles therefore I used some beads, black beans & a plastic ball which I could find in the house.

Some poster color paints.
——————————————
Methods:

Place the drawing paper in the box. Then, dip in the marbles/beads/beans with some paints. After that, drop the marbles covered with paints in the box.

Then start tilting the box back and forth and side to side like what I did here.

You may also add as many marbles/beads and colors as you like at the same time. No need to wait for the paints to dry off before adding/rolling another colored marble/beads.

Continue to tilt the box as the marbles/beads will do the work for you. Look at the crossover of colours… amazing!

Tadaa… here’s my finished master piece by rolling the beads! No paint brushes needed. It’s so easy to do, isn’t it?

And here’s another one… decided to create another one with the plastic ball, beads & black beans. It’s such a fun activity and I love it a lot!

Look at the mess I’ve done here… got my hair colored with some gold paints! Cool huh?

Luckily, the ‘supervisor’ didn’t get mad of what I did.
So, here’s the happy & satisfied kid after the big mess! Hehe….
