Marble Painting

I needed a quick project for my kindergarten students, so we did marble painting. I love this project for showing them Jackson Pollock, and they have a lot of fun rolling the marbles on the trays. I had them use plastic spoons to get the marbles transported to and from the paint and trays to try and limit the mess. I also told them to be careful not to tilt the tray too quickly or the marble will escape, leaving them responsible for cleaning the resulting trail of paint.
