Enjoy the fun of paint with your toddler without the mess! Your little one will love watching the ball create designs in the paint and gain a better understanding of cause and effect.
Materials needed:
- Paper
- Golf ball (any ball or marble would work)
- Paint
- Clear plastic wrap
- Container (I used a 9-by-13 baking dish)
Step one: Place paper in your container.
Step two: If you're brave, have your toddler help you add designs with the paint!
Step three: Place ball in the container and cover with plastic wrap.
Step four: This is the fun part! Have your child help you move the ball around to create designs and watch the colors mix.
Step five: Let your paper dry. All done!
